Why You Need a Certified Academic Translation
Foreign diplomas and transcripts must be translated into English before they can be evaluated by U.S. credential evaluation agencies, submitted to university admissions offices, or included in professional licensing applications. The three most common reasons for academic document translation are credential evaluation through agencies like World Education Services (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), graduate school admissions at U.S. universities, and professional licensing by state boards for fields such as medicine, engineering, nursing, and law. Each of these institutions requires a certified translation that accurately reflects the original academic record, including degree titles, course names, grades, credit hours, and institutional details.

How Different Academic Systems Are Handled
Academic documents from different countries follow distinct grading systems and terminology. European diplomas often follow the Bologna Process framework with ECTS credits, while Latin American universities use different scales by country. Chinese academic records may include political education courses that need contextual translation. Indian mark sheets use a percentage-based grading system that differs from the U.S. GPA model. Our translators understand these differences and produce translations that accurately convey the academic achievement represented in the original document, allowing credential evaluators to perform accurate equivalency assessments.
