Three steps
Upload your transcript, review the price, and approve the translation. We check the full file before we sign and stamp the certificate.
Send all pages, including backs with text or stamps. Add the grading legend and any instructions from the school or agency.
A French specialist translates the courses, grades, credits, legends, registrar notes, seals, and certificates in the same order.
You review the translation before we certify it. We fix translation errors at no added cost, then send the final PDF with its signed and stamped certificate.
One physical page means one billed page
There is no word cap or French-language surcharge. We confirm the delivery time for longer files before you pay.

First-hand document experience
French transcripts can combine the 0–20 scale with named mentions, ECTS credits or older coefficients, and layouts that differ across France, Haiti, West Africa, and Quebec. A translator has to keep each course connected to the correct grade and credit while rebuilding the English layout. These real cases show the decisions involved.
France · Ministry abbreviations
We expanded each abbreviation into its English subject name and kept the original French abbreviation in square brackets. The evaluator could match every line back to the source record.

Lebanon · Parallel columns
One translation covered each French–Arabic subject pair, with the two columns checked against each other before we certified. Every grade stayed tied to its subject in both languages.

“My French university transcript had six pages of courses with the 0–20 grading scale. CertTranslate translated every course title into proper English academic terms and preserved all the grades exactly. WES accepted it for course-by-course evaluation without any revision requests.”

“I submitted my Quebec cégep and university transcripts together. CertTranslate understood the Quebec grading system was different from France and kept both formats accurate. ECE processed my evaluation without delay.”

Translation and evaluation are different services
Choose certified translation when you need an accurate English version. Choose credential evaluation when a school or agency asks how your studies compare with a U.S. degree. Many people need both.
What CertTranslate provides
A certified translation is a complete English translation accompanied by the translator's signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate.
We translate your record. We do not change the credential or calculate a new GPA.
What a credential evaluator provides
A credential evaluation shows how your studies compare with the U.S. system. WES, ECE, and similar agencies issue this report.
CertTranslate does not issue evaluation reports. Check the file list from the school or agency handling your case.
See what WES asks you to submitBefore you order
Upload every transcript page, including backs, continuation pages, and grading legends. This helps us quote the right price and produce a complete translation.
01 · Transcript
Include all semesters and any summary page with cumulative results, mentions, or examination-session labels.
02 · Grading details
Add any legend explaining the 0–20 scale, ECTS credits, or the coefficient weighting your institution used.
03 · Related documents
Add the diploma and its ECTS supplement if you need the set in English, plus any checklist from your evaluator or board.
Francophone systems
These records share French as the working language, but France, Haiti, Cameroon, Senegal, and Quebec grade and structure them differently. We follow the terms and scale printed on your record.
Relevé de Notes
Also issued with: Also: bulletin de notes
Metropolitan records follow the LMD framework: grades on the 0–20 scale, ECTS credits, and semester or annual groupings. Mentions from Passable to Très bien attach to year or degree results.
Older records may use coefficient weighting instead of ECTS — sometimes both appear in one student record. We reproduce whichever the record shows.
Bulletin de Notes
Also issued with: French-influenced formats, old and new
Haitian records follow French-influenced structures, with grading conventions adapted to the Haitian system. Older records may be handwritten or predate LMD adoption.
We preserve institutional references and grading data, and handle handwritten entries carefully. If a scan is borderline, we ask for a better image before certifying.
Relevé de Notes
Also issued with: French, English, or bilingual records
Cameroonian records may be issued in French, English, or both, depending on the region and institution. French-language records adapt the LMD framework to the national structure.
When a record carries both language columns, we translate all material French content so the evaluator sees the complete academic history.
Relevé de Notes
Also issued with: LMD system, institution-specific labels
Senegalese universities use the LMD system with French as the language of instruction, plus institution-specific labels that do not appear on metropolitan French records.
We preserve the course data, grading information, and institutional references exactly as issued, rather than standardizing the record into a French template.
Relevé de Notes
Also issued with: Cégep and université records
Quebec grading conventions differ from both France and the rest of Canada. A cégep transcript carries different academic meaning from a université relevé de notes, and the translation keeps that distinction.
We preserve Quebec-specific grades and course labels so the English version reflects the actual issuing system.

Before you submit
Questions usually start where the English version loses something the record carries: a mention, a coefficient, a session label, or a country-specific structure. We rebuild the layout and check these details before certification.
How we handle it: We keep the exact score on the 0–20 scale and each mention in French with an English gloss. WES and ECE apply their own conversion frameworks.
How we handle it: We reproduce whichever system the record shows — ECTS points, coefficients, or both when an institution switched mid-enrollment.
How we handle it: Haitian, Cameroonian, Senegalese, and Quebec records keep their own structures, labels, and grading conventions in the English version.
How we handle it: We look for references to session results and cumulative summaries and ask about gaps before you pay.
The standard behind these checks
AcceptReady™ is CertTranslate's published standard for certified translations: complete word-for-word translation, mirrored page layout, signed and stamped Certificate of Accuracy on letterhead, and matched to the receiver's published requirements.
How to check each one yourselfStart with the full record: send all pages and the instructions from the school or agency. If a name, grade, or date is unreadable, we ask instead of guessing.
Check my transcript setCommon questions
These answers cover price, delivery, evaluation requirements, grading scales, and the files you should send.
Certified French transcript translation starts at $24.95 per physical page. A page is one physical page of the source document. CertTranslate never re-counts a dense page as two.
Most 1–3 page orders are delivered within 24 hours — included in the price. We confirm the timing for longer or hard-to-read transcripts before you pay.
WES asks for translations when school records are not issued in an accepted language. Send the translation with the source record, and follow the WES file list for your country and credential.
Accepted — or your money back. If a school or agency rejects the translation for a translation-related reason, send us its notice and we will revise the file free. If it is still rejected for that reason, we refund the translation cost. The school or agency still decides whether your record meets its rules.
No. Every grade stays on the 0–20 scale exactly as printed, and we translate the legend that explains it. WES and ECE require the original grades and apply their own conversion tables.
Yes. Upload all terms, continuation sheets, grading legends, signed pages, and back sides that contain text or stamps. We translate the full record you provide.
Yes. Each mention — Très bien, Bien, Assez bien, Passable — stays in French with an English gloss next to it. The mention is part of the result, so we never replace it with a letter grade.
Yes. Multi-year records spanning Licence, Master, or preparatory programs keep their semester or annual organization across all pages. Course numbering and ECTS credits stay consistent, and the set is delivered as one certified translation.
Notarization is separate from certified translation. It only checks the identity of the person signing, so add it only when your school or agency asks for it.
If the school or agency needs both, ordering them together keeps the student name, school, faculty, program, and degree terms consistent across both translations.
Upload the clearest scan you have. If we cannot read a detail safely, we ask for a better image or mark it as illegible. We do not guess.
Yes. You can review the translation before we sign and stamp the certificate. We fix translation errors at no added cost, both before and after delivery.
Grading reference
We show grades exactly as they appear on the transcript. This table lists common scales, but the grading legend from your school is the final reference.
| Issuing system | Typical scale | Common pass mark | What stays visible |
|---|---|---|---|
| France (LMD) | 0–20 | 10 | Mentions from Passable to Très bien, ECTS credits, session labels |
| France (older records) | 0–20 | 10 | Coefficient weighting, sometimes mixed with ECTS mid-transition |
| Quebec (Canada) | Letter grades or institution GPA | Varies by institution | Cégep and université records carry different academic meaning |
| Haiti & Francophone Africa | Printed scale preserved | Per the record’s legend | LMD-adapted systems with local labels and conventions |
French academic terms
The same record can carry metropolitan, African, Caribbean, or Quebec conventions. We keep the terms consistent and the key differences clear.
