What is a "US bona fide translator" that the UOP requires?
Is it like a registered translator?
I know what bona fide literally means, but I don't know what UOP means by it.
Where can I get info on their services? Thanks.

Good question , But I have no idea abt it , if you do get to know abt it do share the info.

Am I the only one speaking a language other than english around here?
It seems so, by the overwhelming amount of responses I've got. 🙄 🙄

Hi Meggs,

I am sure that non-native English speakers on this forum are the rule rather than the exception. As far as I know there is no official standard for a US bonafide translator. My wife is from South America and we have had documents translated from Spanish into English both here in San Francisco and in South America. In both cases the translator made a positive affirmation of their skill and training as a translator on the certificate of translation that they created for the document being translated. Just about any translator that you find in the Yellow Pages will do, so long as the translator is fluent in the original language of the document being translated. Spanish into English is pretty easy to accomplish here in California.

Thanks Scott.

I'm sure most users are non-English speakers, but most of them do get their school documents in English, so they won't need translations.
I'm sure finding an English-Spanish translator won't be a problem for me anywhere, not even in Alaska!!!!

That's what I wanted to know, if translators are regulated or if there are official translators. Thanks.

Thanks again.
