Why someone suddenly needs a syllabus translated
Nobody asks for course descriptions at the start. The request arrives later, from a university deciding whether a course transfers for credit, or from a state licensing board deciding whether a foreign degree covered the subjects its license requires. Both want to see what was actually taught: the contents, the hours, the credits, sometimes the reading list.
What gets sent is a programa de estudios, a plan de estudios, a Modulhandbuch, a syllabus or an ementa — documents written for internal use, often dozens of pages long.
Volume is the real problem, and it is solvable
Course descriptions are the longest documents in an academic file by a wide margin, and translating a whole programme when the board only asked about four courses is money spent for nothing. Before you order, find out exactly which courses are in question — in a transfer-credit review it is usually a handful, not the degree.
They are also frequently a job for standard translation rather than certified: certification attests that a translation is accurate, and some boards and registrars want it while others just want to read the content. Ask which, because certification is what you are paying for; both services are $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Technical vocabulary, translated consistently
A syllabus lives or dies on its terminology. Course titles, credit systems and contact-hour conventions differ between countries, and the same term rendered two ways across a document makes a reviewer doubt the whole thing. We keep one rendering per term across the file, and where a credit system has no English equivalent — ECTS credits, for example — the original unit is kept rather than converted into something it is not.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Do course descriptions need to be certified?
Sometimes. Licensing boards often want certification; a transfer-credit reviewer often just wants to read them. Ask before ordering, because standard translation is considerably cheaper for long documents.
My syllabus is eighty pages. Do I need all of it?
Usually not. Find out which courses are actually under review first — in most transfer-credit cases it is a handful.
Do you convert ECTS credits into US credits?
No. Credits are reproduced in the system the document uses. Equating them is an evaluation, not a translation.
Is acceptance by universities, colleges and schools guaranteed?
Yes. Our certified translations are guaranteed to be accepted by universities, colleges and schools in the United States — and by USCIS, the NVC, courts, government agencies and employers — or your money back. The guarantee covers the translation itself, not the original document or the admission decision, and it covers credential evaluation agencies such as WES and ECE as well. Full terms are in our refund policy.
