Why Portuguese Diploma Translation Matters

Translating a Portuguese diploma presents unique challenges. Naming conventions, especially compound surnames and maternal/paternal designations like 'Sobrenome da Silva', require careful handling to match target language expectations. Specific academic terms, such as 'Licenciatura' or 'Bacharelado', need precise English equivalents rather than literal translations. Date formats (DD/MM/YYYY) must be converted accurately to MM/DD/YYYY or DD-MM-YYYY. Official seals, stamps, and signatures ('selos e assinaturas') from educational institutions or ministries must be explicitly noted and described in the translation, preserving their legal weight. Lekhak's expert translators are adept at navigating these nuances, ensuring your diploma's integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Portuguese Diploma to English translation — common questions

Is a 'Bacharelado' the same as a Bachelor's degree in English?
While 'Bacharelado' is often equated to a Bachelor's degree, the exact equivalency can vary based on the specific curriculum and country. Our translators ensure the most appropriate and recognized English equivalent is used, often including a brief explanatory note if necessary, especially for evaluation bodies like WES or ECE.
How are Portuguese compound surnames handled in the translation?
Portuguese individuals often have multiple surnames (e.g., 'Silva Santos'). Our translations carefully transpose these names, ensuring all components are included and presented consistently with standard English naming conventions, avoiding confusion for official bodies like USCIS or universities.
Do I need to translate my 'Histórico Escolar' (Academic Transcript) along with my diploma?
Yes, many institutions, especially universities and credential evaluation services, require both your 'Diploma' and your 'Histórico Escolar' to assess your full academic background. We recommend translating both together for a comprehensive application.
What is the process for translating a Portuguese diploma with official seals and stamps?
Our translators accurately transcribe all text from seals, stamps, and signatures, and provide a clear description in English, such as 'Official Seal of Universidade de Lisboa' or 'Signature of Rector'. This ensures all official markings are documented without altering the original document's integrity.
Will my grades from a Portuguese grading system be understood in English?
Portuguese grading systems (e.g., 0-20 or 0-100) are different from many English-speaking countries. While we translate the numerical grades, institutions often require an accompanying 'Histórico Escolar' or an evaluation service (like WES) to interpret and convert these grades into their respective systems. We ensure the numerical values are accurately transferred.
Can Lekhak translate diplomas from all Portuguese-speaking countries (e.g., Brazil, Portugal, Angola)?
Yes, our expert translators are proficient in various Portuguese dialects and are familiar with the academic documentation specific to different Portuguese-speaking countries, including Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, and others, ensuring accurate and contextually appropriate translations.
