Academic Transcript

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does a transcript differ from a diploma?

  Yes, the two are different – transcripts from educational institutions are an official copy of a student's education record. A diploma from a high school, college, or university testifies that the recipient has completed a particular course of study or earned a degree.

• How to translate transcripts?

  All you’ll need to do is reach out to Languex and let us do the hard work for you. Once we receive a fully legible digital copy of your transcript, we’ll assign the translation to the most qualified translator. This translator will be fluent in the language of the original document and English and will have been through our extensive vetting process. Our network of expert translators covers over 100 languages. Every translator is tested for skill and accuracy before joining our team.

  Your translator will then complete a verbatim translation of the original transcript. They will not omit nor provide additional explanations of details. Each word and number is translated exactly. Once the transcript translation is complete, a proofreader, editor, and manager check it for quality and accuracy. Next, you’ll get the chance to review your translation for any errors. We’re confident that the outcome will be error-free, but if you do find problems, simply provide a note of any issues, and we’ll offer a free revision.
• How long does it take Languex to translate transcripts?

  Languex has perfected the transcript translation process for efficiency. We offer translations of virtually any document at the lowest rates without sacrificing accuracy or timeliness. For your standard academic transcript, our turnaround for translation is usually 24 hours. If you need a larger batch of documents translated for your applications, we will work with you on a suitable time frame to meet any upcoming deadlines.

• When do you need to certify a transcript translation?

  You’ll likely need to certify a transcript translation used to officially assess your academic or professional qualifications, which is true for most scenarios. Languex’s certified academic transcript translations come with a free ink-signed and sealed certificate that verifies they’ve been completed by a certified translation service provider.

• Do my translated transcripts need to be notarized?

  Your translated transcripts and other academic translations may need to be notarized depending on the context of their use. To save you any hassle or extra steps, the Languex team features trained, certified professionals who can also produce notarized translations. Even if you’re unsure if you need notarization, we’re here to help you find out how to meet your needs.

• Can you show me an example of a transcript translation?

  To protect the privacy of our customers, we can’t share previously completed academic transcripts as an example of our work. You can reference the translation sample attached above to get a better idea of what to expect. If you have questions or want to learn more about our process, you can contact our sales team to speak directly to someone who can help.

• Will USCIS accept Languex’s transcript translations?

  Yes, we guarantee that our certified transcript translations will meet all the requirements to be accepted by USCIS. Our expert translators have a high success rate with preparing certified translations for USCIS applications, including diploma translations and transcripts.

• Can I translate my transcript?

  It’s generally considered unethical to translate your own educational records, even if you are a certified translator yourself. A third party trained in both the original and target language for your project, like members of the team here at Languex Translation, is the best choice.

• Can I certify my transcript?

  There aren’t any rules that explicitly prohibit a person from certifying a transcript translation themselves. But doing so can easily lead to rejected transcripts or other delays, so it’s not advisable. Fortunately, the Languex team of certified translators can certify your transcript and other academic materials for free.

• How much does it cost to get a translated transcript from Languex?

  Languex’s certified academic translation rates are unbeatable at just $24.50/page for any document (one page is equivalent to 250 words). We can also certify and notarize your transcript translation at no additional cost.

• Will I be able to upload my documents electronically?

  Yes, you can upload digital copies of your documents for translation. At Languex, we know how important quick, easy, and accurate translation services are, so we’ve designed our system for convenience. When sending us a digital copy of your transcripts or any other document, simply provide a clear photo or scanned image of the original document. An original digital copy works as well.

  The most important thing is that the uploaded documents are clear and legible. If we’re unable to read all parts of a document, our translators can’t do a complete and accurate transcript translation. We ask that your document submissions be of high quality to ensure no mistakes or delays occur.
• Do I need to show any other documents to have my transcript translated?

  Languex requires no other documents or records when doing an academic translation. However, the institution you’re applying to may request additional supporting documents besides the transcript during the application or identification process. We can help you translate virtually any academic document to meet your needs.
