What an Academic Transcript Translation Has to Show
A transcript is read as a table, so the translation keeps the rows and the columns where they were. The grade scale is where most of the difficulty sits, and it is explained rather than converted.
What the translation covers
-
Courses and Credits: each course with its code, its credit value and its grade, kept in the institution's own order rather than sorted by result.
-
Grading Scale: the scale printed on the transcript is translated and explained, since a percentage in one system is not a letter grade in another.
-
Terms and Years: the term structure is translated as the institution names it, with a note where an academic year is split differently from a US one.
-
Awards and Standing: honors, distinctions, probation or withdrawal are translated as recorded, because an evaluator reads the standing as closely as the grades.
Before you order
The transcript and the diploma answer different questions, and an evaluator usually wants both.
-
With the Diploma: the diploma states what was awarded and the transcript states how, and the diploma page here covers the award and its seals.
-
Sealed Copies: an evaluation service may ask for a copy sent directly by the institution, and the translation is made from the copy you hold.
-
Institution Name: the name is translated with the original in brackets where the English rendering differs, so an evaluator can find the institution.

“The Arabic bill was translated in full, including the account number, and the letting agent accepted it.”
Yusuf I.
“The clearance was translated with the period covered and the validity date clear, which is exactly what the caseworker queried on my first attempt elsewhere.”

“The household list named everyone at the address, and the translation kept each relationship rather than compressing the family into two lines.”

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations translates transcripts from a New York base for WES and NACES evaluations, university admissions and state licensing boards, and returns a certified PDF with a signed translator statement.
A transcript of up to 400 words is $54 at DHCTranslations and longer ones run at $0.12 per word into English. A transcript and diploma ordered together are quoted as two documents, each with its own figure.
Yes, including the key on the reverse. An evaluator cannot weigh a grade without the scale it belongs to, and a translation that stops at the last course stops before the part they need.
WES asks for a complete translation with a signed statement from the translator, and DHCTranslations documents have been accepted by WES and NACES. Whether a qualification is recognized is their decision.
No. The grades are translated as printed and the scale is explained in a note. An evaluator does the conversion themselves, and a figure invented by a translation company would be ignored.
The credit system is translated as the institution defines it, with a note on what one credit represents there. The note is what lets a reader compare it with a US semester hour.
It can, and the pages are translated in the order they were issued so each award reads with its own marks. A single statement then covers the whole file.
The course is translated as closely as the subject allows and the original name is kept beside it. An evaluator needs to recognize the subject, not admire the translation.
A two-page transcript approved before 4pm ET is usually sent the same day, and a six-page file takes about one business day. The date on the quote is an estimate rather than a promise.
Most evaluators ask for both, since the transcript shows the marks and the diploma shows the award. The diploma page covers that document, and the two are usually filed together.
