German term

Zeugnis

German to English Social Sciences Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs
I read all of the entries in the OpenTerm Search but didn't find a translation of "Zeugnis" into UK English.

What I am translating is a "Zeugnis über die Diplomprüfung für Dolmetscher" which contains all the relevant examinations, the diploma thesis and the supplementary field as well as the respective marks. Thus, it is not the "Diplomurkunde", i.e. the Certificate.

TIA, Mel

Diplom(-urkunde) und Prüfungszeugnis gehören zusammen; soviel ich weiß, gibt es immer beide. Die Diplomurkunde enthält die Gesamtnote, das Zeugnis ist die Aufschlüsselung in Einzelbereiche. Ich würde beides als "certificate" bezeichnen.

das ist einfach...hier wird learning by doing und nicht learning by studying praktiziert, liebe mellie
Melanie Michael (asker) Jul 21, 2006:
*zerknirscht* Sorry, wenn jetzt jemandem Gehirnzellen fehlen, die er an meine Frage "verschwendet" hat. Scheint aber doch eine kontroverse Angelegenheit zu sein, wenn man sich mal alle Diskussionen über den Begriff ansieht. Und vor allem: Warum findet man auf der Homepage des FASK Germersheim so gut wie keine englischen Begriffe??? Ist meiner Meinung nach schon ein Armutszeugnis.
rainerc (X) Jul 21, 2006:
Das ist natürlich gaaaanz was anderes :-)
Melanie Michael (asker) Jul 21, 2006:
Oops. I didn't mean it includes the thesis and everything else, it contains the MARK of the thesis and all other exams that add up to the final mark of the Diplomprüfung.
Helen Veitch Jul 21, 2006:
Do you mean that this is a single certificate (?) which gives a breakdown of marks for the exams, thesis, etc, or is it more like a portfolio of all the work completed, i.e. includes a copy of the thesis, etc?

documentation

Perhaps this would fit the bill, as it seems you are not looking for the name of one particular document, but a term which would include transcripts, examination results, a thesis, etc.
