Transcript Translation or Transcript Evaluation?
US universities, WES and other credential evaluators, and licensing boards often ask for two different things, and it helps to know which one you need before you order:
A certified translation turns your transcript into English. When you order with MotaWord, your translation matches your transcript line for line: course names, grades, credit hours, and the grading scale exactly as your school issued them. Nothing is converted.
An academic evaluation tells the reader what your studies equal in the US, such as a GPA and a degree equivalency. A course-by-course evaluation lists every course with US credits and grades. Compare WES with faster evaluation options before you choose.
Most universities ask for the translation with your application, and many also ask for an evaluation. You can order both together on MotaWord.

Need an Academic Evaluation Too?
MotaWord also provides Academic Evaluation and Expert Opinion Letter services. See how expert opinion letters support USCIS petitions. Our platform can handle your certified translations and academic evaluation together at the quote stage. All you need to do is start an academic evaluation order and also select certified translation for your transcripts. If you are applying with a degree, add your diploma translation to the same order. See how we translate diplomas. If your documents are not in English, the system will pick up on that and give you the option to have them translated.
MotaWord has a team of 26,000+ translators available to work on the translation of your academic transcript, and ordering takes a few clicks. Four steps take your academic transcript from upload to a certified English translation:

Read all 1,744 reviewsI ordered two translations of academic documents on MotaWord, I was very impressed with the quality and presentation of the translated documents. They met the deadline perfectly. Their price is also reasonable. I recommend MotaWord 100%. You can trust them. They are true professionals. I also liked the online chat that you can use to ask questions and better understand the services offered. I was very satisfied thank you Motaword.
I used MotaWord to translate a university document from Italian to English. They are very professional and fast with their service. I received the document under the 24h time expectation. In addition I used the “Chat with us” service and the staff was nice and helpful.Great company!
I was initially expecting translation and evaluation to take a lot of time, preparing for at least several days for each step. Instead it was done the next day. Also good job on client support - professional and quick. The only downside I faced is a bit jumpy auto localization of interface, but you can easily set needed locale manually anyway.
I had my diploma translated by Juguo Zhang and received it back in less than 12 hours. The translation was professionally done and even officially notarized. On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable. I’ll definitely use their service again in the future.
