Spanish Transcript Translation

Mexican transcripts often appear as kardex, historial académico, or certificado de estudios and typically use a 0–10 grading scale. Some institutions add their own passing-grade thresholds or credit calculations that have to be preserved in the English version.

These records frequently go to WES, ECE, and U.S. university admissions alongside a título profesional. We preserve the grading legend, credit labels, and registrar certification exactly as issued while keeping the layout evaluator-friendly.

Colombian transcripts (certificado de notas or historial académico) often use a 0–5 grading scale and may include SNIES references or program-accreditation codes. The challenge is to preserve those institutional identifiers while still producing a readable English layout.

For WES and ECE submissions, the grading legend and credit descriptions matter as much as the course titles. We keep the original scale visible and translate any explanatory footnotes that help the evaluator understand the Colombian academic framework.

Argentine transcripts are called analítico parcial (in-progress) or analítico definitivo (final). They typically use a 0–10 scale with institution-specific passing thresholds. Faculty names and degree designations often differ from the rest of Latin America.

Because Argentine credentials are sometimes submitted alongside the diploma as a paired set, we recommend ordering both together to keep terminology, faculty references, and student-name formatting consistent across the translated academic packet.

Peruvian transcripts (récord académico or certificado de estudios) may use a 0–20 grading scale, different from most other Latin American countries. SUNEDU references and institutional accreditation codes may also appear on the record.

The evaluator needs to see the 0–20 scale clearly labeled and preserved. We translate the grading legend, any SUNEDU references, and the registrar certification so the English version stays complete and evaluator-ready.

Spanish (European) transcripts use a 0–10 scale with named grade categories — aprobado, notable, sobresaliente, matrícula de honor — and may follow the Bologna ECTS credit framework on newer records. Older transcripts use pre-Bologna credit systems.

For WES and admissions submissions, the translated transcript has to make the credit system era clear. We preserve the original grading labels, ECTS or pre-Bologna credits, and any institutional certification language while formatting the layout for evaluator review.
