Terminology
Academic Terminology Requires Context.
Literal translation is not always accurate translation. Terminology is evaluated in context because the appropriate rendering may depend on the institution, degree structure, and document.
Context first. Terminology second. Consistency throughout.
| Source term | Context | Translation approach |
|---|---|---|
| Bachelor of Arts | U.S. undergraduate degree | Often kept in original with a descriptive note on level |
| Bachelor of Science | U.S. undergraduate degree | Kept consistent with the diploma’s wording and level |
| Major | Primary field of study | Rendered to reflect the principal area of study |
| Minor | Secondary field | Distinguished clearly from the major |
| Concentration | Specialization within a major | Depends on how the institution uses the term |
| Credit Hour | U.S. unit of academic credit | Reproduced, not converted to CFU |
| Semester Hour | Credit tied to semester system | Kept distinct from quarter hours |
| Grade Point Average | Numeric average on U.S. scale | Value reproduced; not converted |
| Cumulative GPA | Average across all terms | Distinguished from term GPA |
| Academic Standing | Status such as good standing or probation | Rendered as a status, not a grade |
| Registrar | Official custodian of records | Rendered by function, not literally |
| Dean | Head of a school or college | Depends on the institution’s structure |
| Transfer Credit | Credit earned elsewhere | Source institution kept identifiable |
| Course | Individual class | Rendered as a teaching unit |
| Transcript | Official record of courses and grades | Rendered by document function |
| Degree Awarded | Conferred credential | Kept precise; never implies a different title |
| Graduation Date | Date of conferral | Date format made unambiguous |
| Honors | Latin or institutional distinctions | Rendered as issued, never upgraded |
| Pass/Fail | Non-letter grading option | Legend used to explain meaning |
| Withdrawn | Course dropped after deadline | Kept distinct from failed |
| Incomplete | Work not finished in term | Kept distinct from in progress |

FAQ
Italian Academic Translation FAQs
Do I need to translate my diploma into Italian?
For a Declaration of Value, the diploma is generally translated into Italian. Requirements vary by consular jurisdiction.
Does my transcript need to be translated for a Declaration of Value?
In most cases, yes — including the complete course record and the grading legend.
Does the apostille need to be translated into Italian?
It depends on the consulate. Some do not require it because apostilles follow a standardized format; others expect it. We confirm scope before translating.
Should I apostille my documents before translation?
Usually yes, so the notarial pages and any required apostille content are included in one complete translation set.
What parts of a transcript are translated?
Student and institution details, degree and major, course titles, credits, grades, GPA, standing, transfer credits, the legend, and registrar certification.
Are grades translated or converted?
Grades are reproduced exactly as issued. We do not convert them unless the receiving authority specifically requires it.
Is GPA converted to the Italian grading system?
No. GPA values are reproduced accurately rather than interpreted as an Italian equivalent.
Does the transcript legend need to be translated?
When it is part of the record, yes — it explains the grades, credits, and abbreviations.
Do seals and stamps need to appear in the translation?
Relevant seals and stamps are identified and translated or described, e.g. [Seal of Commonwealth University].
How are signatures handled in a translation?
Signatures are noted with a bracketed notation such as [signature], never recreated.
How much does an Italian academic translation cost?
Translation-only services start at $50 per page.
How long does translation take?
It depends on page count and complexity. We confirm the timeline when you order.
What is the difference between a certified and sworn Italian translation?
A certified translation carries the translator’s signed statement of accuracy; a sworn translation (traduzione giurata) is sworn before an Italian authority. Which is needed depends on the consulate.
Does every Italian Consulate accept the same type of translation?
No. Translation requirements vary by consular jurisdiction.
Can you translate my diploma and transcript together?
Yes — translating them together keeps terminology consistent across the set.
Can you translate the apostille too?
Yes, when the consulate handling your file requires it.
Can you help with the complete Declaration of Value process?
Yes. We also coordinate notarization, apostilles, and consular submission.
