Translating Hindi Degree Certificates to Polish for Education Verification

What an Indian Degree Certificate Contains

A typical Hindi-language degree certificate from an Indian university is a formal document issued under the authority of the institution. It states the university name, the degree title (for example ‘Doctor of Philosophy’), the field of study, the date of award, and the name of the candidate. Certificates usually carry the signature of the vice-chancellor or registrar, the university seal, and a registration number. Institutions such as IIT Mandi issue doctoral degrees in Devanagari script, following the degree framework set by the University Grants Commission. When translating, every text element, the degree name, the candidate’s name, the date, and the issuing authority, must be accurately rendered, while decorative seals and signatures are not part of the textual content.

Common Hindi Academic Terms and Their Polish Translations

Degree certificates employ a specific set of academic terms that appear repeatedly. Our AI translation models recognise these terms and map them to their Polish equivalents during the conversion process. For reference, the table below lists frequent Hindi entries, their romanisation, and the corresponding English meaning. In a completed Polish translation, ‘प्रमाणपत्र’ becomes świadectwo, ‘डॉक्टर ऑफ फिलॉसफी’ becomes doktor filozofii, and ‘थीसिस’ becomes rozprawa doktorska. The table uses English for clarity, but the AI-generated DOCX will contain the natural Polish equivalents.

प्रमाणपत्र	Pramāṇ patra	Certificate
डॉक्टर ऑफ फिलॉसफी	Ḍŏkṭar ôph philŏsaphī	Doctor of Philosophy
थीसिस	Thīsis	Thesis

Why Translate a Hindi Degree Certificate to Polish?

Education verification is the primary reason. When you apply for admission to a Polish university, seek professional licensing, or present your qualifications to an employer in Poland, Polish authorities usually require the document in the official language. The Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) handles the evaluation of foreign degrees, and a Polish translation is an essential part of the dossier. Even before formal evaluation, an accurate draft helps you understand what your certificate states and whether any additional supporting documents are needed. A fast AI translation gives you that initial working copy without delay.

AI Translation vs. Official Certified Translation: Which One Fits Your Education Verification?

Lekhak’s self-serve AI translation produces a complete, editable DOCX in minutes. This output is accurate enough for internal review, pre‑assessment, or sharing informally with the receiving institution before formal submission. It is not itself a sworn translation and does not carry a translator’s signed certificate. For final submission to a Polish body that demands an official certified document, Lekhak also offers certified translation on-demand, not as a self‑serve flow, but arranged when needed. Notarisation and apostille remain separate procedures you handle through government authorities. The AI path covers most early‑stage needs; the certified option steps in only when the institution explicitly requires it.

What Lekhak’s AI Translation Produces

You upload a scanned copy of your Hindi degree certificate, a PDF or a clear image, and within minutes you receive a DOCX file. The AI pipeline reads the Devanagari text, translates every written field into Polish, and preserves the general layout of the original certificate. Institution name, degree title, field of study, date of award, and candidate name all appear in Polish. The output does not replicate physical seals or signatures as legal authentication; it reproduces the text content. From our experience translating similar documents, we have processed PhD certificates from institutes like IIT Mandi, and the translation accurately captures the academic terminology. There is no courier, no queue, and no waiting for a human translator.

When You Need Notarisation, Apostille, or Embassy Attestation

Polish universities and employers sometimes require the translated document to be accompanied by a verification chain. Notarisation, a Polish notary attesting the translator’s signature, and apostille under the Hague Apostille Convention are separate legal steps. For Indian documents, apostille is applied by the Ministry of External Affairs after state‑level authentication. These acts authenticate the original certificate, not the translation, and you arrange them directly with the competent Indian and Polish authorities. For the translation component, Lekhak’s on‑demand certified translation can serve as the sworn version required for the chain; the notarisation and apostille steps are then completed by you through the appropriate government offices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AI translation accepted by Polish universities for admission purposes?

Many institutions permit an AI‑generated draft for initial internal review, but formal admission almost always calls for a sworn translation from a certified translator. Lekhak’s AI output gives you a ready draft; a certified on‑demand option is available when the university requires it.

Does Lekhak provide a certified translation for my Hindi degree certificate?

Yes. Certified translation is offered on‑demand, not as part of the self‑serve AI flow. This meets the formal requirement of a sworn translation. Notarisation and apostille remain separate steps you organise with the relevant authorities.

How long does the self‑serve AI translation take?

Once you upload the scanned certificate, the DOCX is ready in minutes. There is no queue, and the platform is available around the clock. No courier or manual processing is involved.

What does the translated DOCX look like?

The file preserves the general layout of the original certificate and presents all text fields, institution, degree title, date, name, in Polish. Decorative elements such as seals and signatures are not graphically reproduced as legal marks.

Can I use the AI translation for employment verification in Poland?

For preliminary HR screening or a personal review, the AI translation works well. If the employer insists on a sworn translation, the certified on‑demand path is the correct choice. Always confirm the employer’s exact requirement in advance.

What if I have lost my original degree certificate?

You will need to obtain a duplicate from the issuing university. Lekhak can translate the duplicate once it is in your hands, but the platform does not assist in the reissuance process.

Does Lekhak handle notarisation or apostille?

No. Notarisation and apostille are government procedures you complete yourself. Lekhak’s role ends with the translation, either the instant AI version or the on‑demand certified translation. The certified output can then be submitted to a notary or apostille authority.

Will the translation be recognised by NAWA?

NAWA expects a sworn translation for formal degree evaluation. The self‑serve AI translation is helpful for pre‑assessment, but the final package should include an official certified translation. Lekhak’s on‑demand certified service meets that requirement.

How much does the translation cost?

Lekhak’s self‑serve AI translation uses a credit model. For current rates per page, see the pricing page at lekhak.app/pricing. Certified translation on‑demand is quoted separately based on the document.

Which file formats can I upload?

The platform accepts PDF, DOCX, DOC, JPEG, PNG, WebP, TXT, and Markdown. Uploading a clear image or scan of your Hindi degree certificate is the best approach for accurate OCR and translation.
