Original: In Finland , the head city manager of the capital , Helsinki , is customarily given by the country 's President the title ylipormestari translated : '' high mayor '' ( which then generally is much more used of the official than kaupunginjohtaja , the title of the office itself ) , a tradition that resembles closely the Lord Mayoralties in other countries .
Simplified: This means the person is not in charge of the day to day work of the city , but represents the city at important events .
