<p>Also:</p>

<p>Wikipedia's page for <a href="https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E7%B8%BD%E7%B7%A8%E8%BC%AF" rel="nofollow noreferrer">总编辑</a> mirrors to the french page for <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9dacteur_en_chef" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rédacteur en chef</a>.

  <p>总编辑，也称总编、主编</p>

<p>So it looks like the Chinese terms are quite interchangeable amongst themselves. 主编 also redirects to the page for 总编辑. I would try not to get too caught up in the semantics of the words.</p>

<p>This seems to be quite a complicated question actually. It's quite a hard one to translate properly and it depends on the context. You can see here for more info <a href="https://share.america.gov/zh-hans/editors/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. According to the article one way of translating these back into English is:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>主编 = Managing editor </p></li>
<li><p>总编 = Executive editor</p></li>
</ul>

<p>So 主编 might be something like Chef d'édition.</p>

It’s not easy indeed. Thanks for your input, I appreciate that. Yes, at first I wanted to translate 总编 as rédacteur en chef and 主编 as chef d’édition. Plus, it seems to me that 总编 is the person in charge and supervises 主编, right ? Plus there’s only one rédacteur en chef but there can be many chef d’édition, am I right ?

<p>大家好，</p>

<p>我想翻译这些词。背景是一个杂志社的。
我知道 <strong>总编</strong> 就是 <em>rédacteur en chef</em> 可是 关于 <strong>主编</strong> 我莫名其妙。我早想到把它翻译成 <em>éditeur</em> 或者 <em>éditeur en chef</em> 不过我不太肯定。原来，对记者的专业词汇不太熟悉。因此，我需要你们的帮助。
若有人知道，就告诉我啊。
多谢！</p>

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this question is asking for a French translation

wondering why the OP used 帮衬 instead of 帮助 or 帮忙 - it's probably above my head!

我想翻译这些词。背景是一个杂志社的。
我知道 **总编** 就是 *rédacteur en chef* 可是 关于 **主编** 我莫名其妙。我早想到把它翻译成 *éditeur* 或者 *éditeur en chef* 不过我不太肯定。原来，对记者的专业词汇不太熟悉。因此，我需要你们的帮助。
若有人知道，就告诉我啊。
多谢！

Also:

Wikipedia's page for [总编辑](https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E7%B8%BD%E7%B7%A8%E8%BC%AF) mirrors to the french page for [Rédacteur en chef](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9dacteur_en_chef). But the original Chinese page does also mention:

> 总编辑，也称总编、主编

So it looks like the Chinese terms are quite interchangeable amongst themselves. 主编 also redirects to the page for 总编辑. I would try not to get too caught up in the semantics of the words.
