If you hold a qualification from Kazakhstan and wish to study, pursue further training or take a new professional direction in Switzerland, your educational records must be readily understandable. The subject transcript often deserves as much attention as the diploma itself. Dialektikus+ translates Kazakh certificates, diploma supplements and supporting educational documents into German. As a Kazakh translation agency in Switzerland, we present your documented achievements with clarity, without implying an equivalence that only the competent organisation can assess.
Reading Certificates and Diplomas as a Coherent Dossier
Educational documents from Kazakhstan encompass several categories of qualification. A ‘Жалпы орта білім туралы аттестат’ is a certificate of general secondary education. It is distinct from diplomas in technical or vocational education and higher education diplomas. The published official templates treat these categories separately. We translate each qualification title precisely, without tacitly presenting it as a Swiss award. The educational pathway actually documented remains clear.
An award certificate may identify the institution, the qualification or degree conferred, and registration particulars. We distinguish the title of the programme from that of the award. References to a resolution or examination decision are also retained where they appear in the original. The recipient can consequently establish what has been certified and which event a particular date denotes.
The diploma supplement bears the Kazakh designation ‘Дипломға қосымша’ and may be described as a ‘транскрипт’. Published templates include subjects, credits and assessments, together with details of practical placements and final assessments. This attachment offers valuable insight into the course of study. Please supply every accompanying page: the principal certificate and a detailed record of completed coursework answer different questions.
The relationship between the principal document and its supplement merits particular scrutiny. Do the name, diploma number and institution correspond? Does the supplement expressly refer to the diploma? We preserve these connections and raise apparent discrepancies. Consistent cross-references make it easier for a university or employer to read the documents as a coherent whole.
Older records may contain former institutional names or different versions of official forms. We reproduce the designation supplied and consider any corroborating documents you hold. Historical names are not modernised at our discretion. Your educational history therefore remains traceable, even where the institution now has a different name or a later certificate presents the information differently.
Translating Subject Titles and Academic Results
With an extensive academic transcript, the devil is in the detail. Each subject must correspond to the correct assessment, and each credit allocation to the correct row. We preserve the table structure and the distinctions between compulsory subjects, electives and other categories specified in the original. The German version can then be read alongside the source, allowing the assessor to concentrate on substance rather than disentangling misplaced entries.
Letter grades, numerical values and traditional grading descriptions retain their respective forms. A stated GPA is reproduced as such. Official templates contain corresponding assessment columns and ECTS information, although your particular document remains the determining reference. We do not independently convert grades to the Swiss scale. Nor do we relabel unspecified credits as ECTS credits without a basis in the source.
Specialist terminology requires discernment. A superficially similar German expression may denote another discipline or narrow the scope of a subject unduly. We therefore consider the programme as a whole and consult available explanations. Module descriptions or a course outline supplied by you may assist where necessary. This terminological rigour articulates your qualification accurately without embellishing its academic content.
Practical placement records deserve consideration in their own right. Which entry identifies the period, which the extent of the placement, and which the assessment? We keep these particulars distinct, preserving the institution’s name and the activity recorded. A dissertation or final project is likewise translated under its actual title. Readers should be able to distinguish the achievement described from statements appearing only in an accompanying letter.
Multilingual supplements can aid interpretation, but they still require meticulous comparison. If an existing English or Russian version differs from the Kazakh text, we clarify which document will govern the commission. Apparent discrepancies are brought to your attention. Nothing falls between the cracks, and the German translation rests on an explicitly agreed source version.
Preparing Applications and Formal Submissions
An employment application may require different evidence from an application for admission to a course. Please tell us who will receive the translation and which documents have been expressly requested. We tailor the commission accordingly. A clearly defined dossier avoids unnecessary translation and remains easier to navigate if further evidence is added later.
If an educational document is missing, eGov describes a separate administrative service for issuing duplicates. We need to know whether you are supplying the original document or a replacement issued subsequently. Any duplicate designation and its own issue particulars remain visible in translation. A missing record cannot be replaced by an improvised declaration; where necessary, it must be obtained from the competent institution.
Kazakhstan also provides a dedicated state apostille service for educational documents. Whether your circumstances require an apostille or a particular form of translation certification should be established from the recipient’s requirements. Please send these before ordering wherever possible. An apostille and a translation perform different functions; any accompanying certification sheets are included within the agreed scope.
Clear scans are sufficient for an initial quotation. Photograph folded supplements in full and avoid cropping the edges of tables. An uninterrupted page sequence is especially helpful with lengthy transcripts. Please also specify your preferred deadline and the form in which you require the translation.
Give your educational achievements the clarity they deserve. Send Dialektikus+ your diploma, its accompanying supplements and the receiving organisation’s correspondence. We prepare a specific quotation and resolve outstanding questions before translation begins. You receive a carefully worded German version in which qualifications, subjects and attainment records form an intelligible, consistent account.
