Each country has its own official English translation of the names of their ministries, which is registered with the international organizations. Starting with the name of the country, there are several Websites where you can find this information.

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : What country? One MUST know the country before translating the ministries, because they all have official titles in English that they themselves register with the United Nations.

Consumption

This plus lots of other government sites found via google seem to go for the literal translation, since Ministerial portfolios are handed out on different bases from one country to another!
