Whether you are applying for a position in Switzerland, embarking on a course of training or seeking an assessment of your qualifications, your documents need to convey your background clearly. With certificates from Eritrea or Ethiopia’s Tigray region, that requires more than a translated title. Dialektikus+ brings exacting care to Tigrinya educational and employment records. Our translation agency for Tigrinya helps present qualifications, course content and professional experience in terms that enable an employer or educational institution to appreciate precisely what your documents substantiate.

Making School Records and Examination Certificates Intelligible

A school record may document attendance in a particular year group, the results of an academic year or a qualification awarded. These statements must remain distinct. We therefore read the heading, subject list and any completion statement together. A record confirming attendance alone is not presented as proof of a school-leaving qualification. Where an examination is expressly certified, we reproduce its full designation.

In Eritrean educational records, school grades and the results of a separate final examination may appear on different certificates. A ‘Matriculation Exam Certificate’ is therefore not necessarily equivalent to an ordinary school report. Where both are supplied, we consider their respective functions. An English title also does not mean that every entry, stamp and supplementary endorsement in the dossier is already in English.

For documents from Tigray, we likewise identify the languages used on each page. A Tigrinya main text may appear alongside specialist terms or official endorsements in other languages. When preparing the quotation, we establish which passages require translation. This makes the scope transparent and produces a coherent result, without leaving the recipient to navigate untranslated marginal entries alongside a translated certificate.

The school’s name, year group, academic year and examination date are also material particulars. Where records span several years, we preserve their chronology and the institutional designation used at each stage. A subsequent change of school name is not retrospectively inserted into an earlier certificate. A replacement certificate remains identified as such where the document specifies this, allowing the educational history to be followed without avoidable discontinuities.

Please include any reverse pages and supplementary results sheets with the principal document. They may explain the grading system or identify the issuing body. Complete records allow us to get to the heart of the matter before finalising the translation. We discuss pertinent connections with you and align the commission with the documents your school, advisory service or prospective training institution actually requires.

Conveying Academic Results and Training Content Precisely

A transcript often provides the detail that a succinct qualification title leaves unexplained. Which subjects were studied? What period do the results cover? Does the record distinguish examination grades, ongoing assessment and aggregated results? We preserve this structure in the German version. Rows and columns remain unequivocally aligned, enabling a detailed comparison between the translation and the source document.

Scores and grading scales call for judicious treatment. We reproduce the recorded values and translate any accompanying explanation of the assessment system. We do not independently convert them into Swiss school grades. The relevant institution decides whether a foreign assessment meets its admission criteria. An accurately reproduced original scale gives it a firmer basis for that decision than a familiar-looking but unsubstantiated substitute grade.

Training certificates may distinguish teaching hours, practical placements and individual areas of study. We retain those distinctions. A recorded hour is not converted into an ECTS credit without a basis, nor a certificate of attendance into a licence to practise. Where a specialist term appears only in abbreviated form, supplementary syllabuses or course descriptions can help establish the appropriate terminology. Such explanations remain separate from the certificate’s actual wording.

When interpreting dates, we establish whether they denote an academic year, a semester or an individual examination day. This is particularly important where an Ethiopian date appears alongside an entry already expressed in the Gregorian calendar. Any conversion is made explicit. Missing days or months are not supplied merely to achieve a uniform presentation; the chronology and level of precision of the original remain intact.

The title of a qualification deserves equally conscientious treatment. A foreign ‘Diploma’ is not automatically a Swiss federal diploma, nor does a school-leaving certificate constitute a Swiss baccalaureate solely by virtue of its heading. We choose an intelligible designation and retain the original title where necessary. You can then present your qualification appropriately without the translation anticipating an equivalence assessment reserved to the competent body.

Presenting Professional Experience Clearly in Applications

A concise confirmation of employment can strengthen an application when its particulars are clearly conveyed. We distinguish the employer, role, employment period and expressly described responsibilities. If the document includes an appraisal, we translate its actual assessment. A statement merely confirming employment is not supplemented with an invented appraisal, even where evaluative language would be customary in a Swiss employment reference.

For job titles, we seek the most apposite German wording. A term used in a workshop, administrative department or social service organisation may denote different responsibilities according to context. Further information about the employer can assist with terminological precision. The documented duties remain decisive. Your experience is thus given proper expression without a designation suggesting more than the evidence supports.

Placement records and course certificates receive the same discriminating attention. They may confirm a period of practical work, particular activities or completed further training. Where several documents concern the same stage of your career, we ensure consistent names and intelligible descriptions. Employers can then discern the relationship between theoretical study and practical experience, while each record retains its distinct meaning and can be examined separately if required.

A legible digital copy is sufficient for an initial enquiry. Tell us whether the translation is intended for a job application, admission to training or a formal recognition procedure. The receiving institution’s document list helps define the scope with care. There is no need to translate every record as a precaution if a clearly specified selection of evidence will serve the particular purpose.

Present your professional history compellingly in German. Send Dialektikus+ your Tigrinya certificates and employment records, together with your preferred deadline. We assess legibility, discuss supplementary pages and provide a transparent quotation. You receive a carefully considered translation that conveys your documented expertise clearly, leaving you free to concentrate on the next opportunity, secure in the knowledge that your supporting documents are clearly and faithfully presented.
