Are you a student and your professional future is overseas? This article is just for you!

Are you planning to go abroad for an internship? Did you just land your dream job in France or in Germany? A certified translation of your diplomas or transcripts will be required. This type of translation must be done by a sworn translator. To prepare for your travels, discover our 5 tips for translating your diplomas and transcripts.

1. Make sure to keep your transcripts and diplomas

This is essential, yet many students feel that their transcripts will not be useful to them after graduating. Don’t fall into the same trap! If you are a student planning to go abroad for academic or professional purposes, it is essential that you keep your transcripts.

PWhy is this so important? If you plan to study or work in France, the organisation hosting you will study your application to determine whether the level of the diploma you obtained in the U.S.A., the U.K. or Australia corresponds to a diploma awarded in France. They will also establish an equivalency of your marks by subject or course and calculate your GPA. To do this, you will first need a certified translation of your diplomas or transcripts, which must be done by a sworn translator. This step is very important - it will open the doors to your future in the international market. So keep these diplomas and transcripts somewhere safe!

2. Find out more about the working environment abroad

If you have found a job in Germany, for example, you should carefully check the local regulations for certain professions. Depending on the profession, special regulations are required and the recognition of your diploma may be required.

If you are interested in a career in healthcare, education or law, it is best to contact the German Chamber of Crafts and Trades.

3. Choose translation agencies specialising in sworn and certified translations

Translation agencies can best help you get the correct type of translation. For the translation of your university diplomas, certificates and transcripts, you can contact translation agencies like ACSTraduction, which specializes in sworn and official translations. These certified translations will be carried out by a sworn translator, accredited by a Court of Appeal in France, a Land in Germany, or the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs depending on the target language. The sworn translators who are part of our specialized translation agency will carry out the certified translation of your diploma or the sworn translation of your transcripts with professionalism, quality, and efficiency.

4. The sworn translation of your diplomas and transcripts is an investment in your future

The sworn translation of your diploma or transcript is an investment that will open doors and increase your chances of studying or working in France, Germany, Spain and the rest of the world.

5. Choose sworn translation

The sworn translation of your diplomas and transcripts is an official translation done by a sworn translator. A sworn translator is a professional translator who has taken an oath before the Presiding Judge of the Court of Appeal in France, or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain, and must follow a specific procedure for the sworn translations of diplomas and transcripts. One of the top priorities is to make a translation that is faithful to the original so that the translation is “certified as an accurate translation” of the transcript or diploma. The sworn translation has legal and official value.

It is also important to understand that a sworn translator is not authorised by law to convert marks on transcripts. Nor are they allowed to make changes to the diploma or transcript. The content must be translated in accordance with the legal requirements for the sworn translations of diplomas and transcripts.

On the other hand, it is legally permissible to add a translator's note explaining the grading system of the country of origin of your diplomas and transcripts.

So if you're getting ready to go abroad, remember these valuable tips that will be useful for you and your loved ones, and don't hesitate to contact us for the sworn translation of your diplomas or to get a free quote.
