Academic translation services for institutions

Academic institutions compete internationally for students, faculty, funding, and publication impact. When applicants move from one country to another, admissions offices frequently require certified translations of transcripts, diplomas, syllabi, and course descriptions. For U.S. admissions and immigration purposes, certified translations must be accurate and complete—many universities and U.S. agencies, including USCIS, accept our certified translations for academic and immigration filings.

Beyond admissions, universities publish research, expand programs, and partner across borders. A mistranslated methodology section, ethics approval, or grant requirement can jeopardize compliance, delay publication, or hinder funding decisions. Precision matters: terminology must align with departmental glossaries, journal style, and field-specific conventions so that reviewers, editors, and committees interpret content exactly as intended.

Compliance and data protection are equally critical. Student and research data can be sensitive, and multilingual processing must respect regulations such as FERPA in the U.S. and GDPR in the EU. Admissions decisions, IRB approvals, and collaborative research often involve personally identifiable information, requiring controlled workflows, confidentiality, and auditable security practices.

Finally, digital-first delivery is the norm. E-learning content, LMS interfaces, and campus websites must be localized and accessible to global audiences to drive enrollment, retention, and learner outcomes. By combining certified accuracy, regulatory awareness, and scalable technology, Kings of Translation helps academic institutions communicate clearly and credibly worldwide.

Our academic translators are subject specialists—covering STEM, social sciences, humanities, and education—who understand field-specific terminology and journal conventions. We maintain terminology databases and bilingual style guides per institution or department to ensure consistency across syllabi, handbooks, and research manuscripts. Every project follows a multi-step QA process with translation, independent editing, and final checks.

For regulated content, we implement FERPA- and GDPR-aware workflows, encrypted file transfer, NDAs on request, and role-based access. We are an ATA member with BBB A+ accreditation, and our certified translations are accepted worldwide by universities, credential evaluators, and U.S. authorities including USCIS. This acceptance is crucial for international applicants, faculty hires, and cross-border program validation.

Pricing is transparent: certified translations are $32.90 per page, and standard academic content starts at $0.06 per word. Typical turnaround is 24–48 hours for short certificates and 2,000–3,000 words per business day for manuscripts, with urgent options available. You’ll work with a dedicated project manager who coordinates timelines, approvals, and reviewer feedback to keep submissions on schedule.

Technology supports scale: translation memory preserves previously approved course descriptions, while termbases keep discipline-specific vocabulary consistent. Our team aligns to ISO-style quality principles and can adapt to journal house styles (APA, MLA, Chicago) and publisher templates. The result: accurate, compliant academic translations that accelerate admissions decisions, increase publication success, and improve global program delivery.
