<p>So, I'm going to translate all my transcript documents alone, and then give them to my counselor to submit them online. However i do have some questions</p>
<p>1)My transcript contains allot of typical formal information that admission officers wont need. For example , at the top of the page it says "Hellenic democracy, Education Ministry, Higher Education bla bla bla...(written in Greek)" well you get the point... Should I tranlate the whole thing, or just the grading part ?</p>
<p>2)Should the translated document be handwritten or on a e-form?
3)Should I sign it after translation ...for example:<br>
Translated by "name" , Signature :"Signature"</p>
<p>3)After I translate it I should go get it certified by my school with a stab or something, shouldn't I?</p>
<p>4)Should i give both the translated and the non translated documents to my counselor to submit them?</p>
<p>1) I think the translation should be an exact translation from Greek to English. So its better if you include them.
2) Doesn’t matter if its eligible. All my school forms are handwritten and that is how all the applications that went/goes/will go from our school.
3) No you should not sign it. The counselor should sign it.
4) Make sure the translated copy bears the school letterhead, school seal and signature of the counselor.
5) I think you should submit the translated copy. Once it has been translated, the transcripts in Greek are pretty useless to the colleges you are applying.</p>
<p>I think you should submit all translated and original documents. If the institution has a question about the translation, they will have the originals to refer to. Make sure that your school sends the transcript not you.</p>
You do not need to translate every single word. In fact, you do not even have to keep the formatting. Ideally your (English) transcript would show all of your grades on a single page; you do not want to translate every report card individually. </p>
<p>
Type it if at all possible - much easier to read. </p>
<p>
You don’t need to sign it, but it would be appropriate to state that you performed the translation yourself.</p>
<p>
If possible. However, once you have the stab, you’d need to scan the document, which may or may not cause file size issues. (You are limited to 500 KB for online submission.)</p>
<p>
If you have space to include the original documents in the electronic file, I would tack them on. Otherwise it probably won’t hurt to leave them out. </p>
<p>One more thing: If your counselor submits the school report online, you should give him an electronic file of your transcript, not a paper version.</p>
<p>thanks for the reply. What I’m gonna do , is write the translation on the computer, print it, get a stab from my school and then scan it (I’ll make a black & white scan since it takes about 50kb per page , compared to the colorfull that takes 300+) and then give the translated and non translated documents in electronic form to my counselor to submit them online thanks again</p>
thanks again</p>
