Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

The word "personal" in English is irrelevant, because a transcript is in itself personal... but when speaking in Spanish you regularly use it.

Looking at this again, it seems to me that the "certificado" means that it is a certified copy of the transcript. If the transcript isn't a certified copy, it cannot be used for official purposes. I would therefore suggest "certified academic transcript". You can add the personal but it is not used in English. Example: Academic Record - Transcript - myAdvisor: Online help for UQ ...

neutral philgoddard : "certificado" is a noun meaning "certificate" here, not an adjective.

I have my doubts, Phil, so I'm leaving it as a reference.
agree Francisca Garcia-Huidobro : In Latin America, "transcript" & "certificates [regarding courses and grades]" are the same, because a transcript not certified is not valid at all, it would not make sense.

Thanks and good afternoon, Francisca.
agree Richard McDorman : "Transcript" is used in the English-speaking world. A "transcript" and a "certificate" are completely different things in English.
