The basics
What is academic translation?
Academic translation is the translation of academic documents and academic writing from one language into another. It covers two kinds of work. The first is academic records: transcripts, diplomas, course descriptions and certificates that international students and professionals submit to educational institutions, employers and licensing boards. The second is academic research: research papers, dissertations, journal articles, conference papers and books that need to reach readers in another language.
Both call for a translator who knows the subject and its specialized terminology, and who keeps every name, grade, figure and reference exactly as it appears in the original document. Academic records are usually also needed for foreign credential evaluation, where an evaluator compares your education with the US system.
Certified translationSchools, universities and credential evaluators usually ask for a certified translation: a complete, word-for-word translation with a signed certificate of accuracy. That’s what we deliver for every academic record.

Why it matters
Why accurate academic translation matters
Your translation is often the only version of your record an admissions office or evaluator will read. A mistake can cost you credits, time or a place in a program.
Applications move forward
An incomplete or unclear translation is one of the most common reasons an application or evaluation is put on hold. A complete, certified translation avoids the back and forth.
Credits and grades counted correctly
Evaluators rely on the translation to match your courses, credits and grades. We keep every figure, grading scale and course title exactly as in the original.
Research reaches a global audience
Scientific translation makes findings and scientific material available to researchers in other languages. Accurate data and terminology keep your work credible.
For students, schools and researchers

Our qualified translators work as subject matter experts: they use the source and target language every day and know the terminology of education, science and research.

Scientific and research translation
Translating academic research
Research papers and scientific material need more than fluent language. Here is what we pay attention to when we translate academic writing.
Scientific translation
Numbers, symbols, units, formulas and data are carried over exactly. Scientific translation is done by people with field knowledge, never by machine translation, because one error can mislead every study that cites the work.
Citations and references
We follow the citation conventions of the target language and keep references accurate and complete, so readers can trace every source in your academic papers.
Cultural nuances and tone
Academic writing has its own tone and conventions in every language. We keep the formal register of the original and adapt cultural nuances so the meaning reads naturally for the new audience.
What is academic translation?
Academic translation is the translation of academic documents, such as transcripts, diplomas and course descriptions, and of academic writing, such as research papers, dissertations, journal articles and books, from one language into another. An academic translator knows the subject and its terminology, so academic translations are accurate and complete.
Do universities and credential evaluators require a certified translation?
Most do. Universities, schools and credential evaluation services, including members of NACES, generally ask for a complete, word-for-word English translation of every academic record. Check your institution’s instructions; we follow them and add a signed certificate of accuracy.
How much does academic translation cost, and how long does it take?
Certified translations of academic records are $20 per page. Most documents up to three pages are delivered within 24 hours. For research papers, dissertations and other long academic writing, we send you a free quote with a delivery date.
How does academic translation differ from other types of translation?
It requires a translator with specialized knowledge of the subject, not just of the source and target language. The translation must represent the source document exactly, including its terminology, tone, figures and references, and it is proofread carefully against the original.
What are the key challenges in academic translation?
Specialized terminology, different grading systems and degree names, and the conventions of academic writing in each language. A translator also has to keep facts and figures exact, because a small change can alter the meaning of a text or the value of a grade.
How do you handle citations and references?
We keep every citation complete and accurate, follow the conventions of the target language, and leave the titles of published sources in their original language when that is the standard, with a translation where it helps the reader.
Can you translate my research paper or dissertation for publication?
Yes. Your paper is translated by a translator with knowledge of your field, keeping your meaning, data and tone, for a high-quality translation that reads as if it were written in the new language. Send it through our quote request form and tell us the journal or style guide, and we’ll take it into account.
