FAQ: Do you have questions about “school certificates and their translation”? You can find the most important answers here:

Do you have questions about having school certificates translated for Germany?

• + Do I need a certified translation of my foreign school certificate into German?

  An attestation clause legally assures the accuracy of the translation. So you give a better impression with that. Authorities and offices, but also universities and even some companies, even require a translation with certification.
  
  

  Also, find out if a regulatory transfer is necessary or desirable: School and university systems and their certificates and degrees vary greatly from country to country. Therefore, there are authorities in each country that do not translate the certificates and diplomas but can issue certificates as to which degree has which validity and significance in the respective country. In some cases, the universities also offer a transfer table — it is best to have this translated as well.

Do you have questions about having school certificates translated for abroad?

• + Do I need a certified translation of my school certificate when applying abroad?

  Since this is an official document, a certified translation is usually required in order for the document to be accepted by the foreign institution.
  
  

  Tip: Check with the university or appropriate office abroad to see if a translation of your school certificate is required. By the way, our translations are certified by translators who are sworn in by a court in Germany and are accepted abroad standardly.

• + Can I translate my school certificate myself?

  There are subtle nuances and differentiations in every language which — even with a very good command of the foreign language — can hardly be adhered to and translated accurately as a layperson. In general, we therefore advise against translating certificates yourself. This weakens your credibility with your future employer and rarely makes a professional impression. You may even falsify your certificates to your disadvantage. With authorities, a (usually inaccurate) translation without certification is not legally valid anyway.
  
  

  Even as a native German speaker, one has to admit that the “certificate language” in German is a science in itself. It is therefore better to opt for a professional translator who is guaranteed to translate the content of your certificates with perfect grammar and expression. An additional quality check by a second native specialist translator, a so-called proofreading, offers even more security and is part of the standard procedure of professional translation agencies.

• + What is a certified translation?

  A certified translation is a translation of an official document provided with the translator's attestation clause. Such a translation can only be carried out by court sworn translators. The translator confirms the accuracy of the translation with his/her signature, stamp and attestation clause. The authenticity of the translation is thus guaranteed in a legally binding manner. When you order your translation from lingoking and select the "certification" option, we guarantee that the translation will be done by a translator who has been sworn by a court in Germany.
