GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:distinto
English translation:very good
Entered by: Claudia Luque Bedregal

01:45 May 24, 2005
Italian to English translations [PRO]
Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs / diploma licenzia media
Italian term or phrase: distinto
Context:
Diploma di licenzia media
Giudizio: Distinto
Lingua: Spagnolo

And at the bottom of the diploma there's the list of the possible grades: Ottimo, Distinto, Buono, Sufficiente.

I was thinking of using "Very good". Would it be ok? Or perhaps "distinguished"?
Thank you!

Very good
Explanation:
At Middle school level, grading in the UK education system is less formal. As a rule, however, I normally translate Ottimo, Distinto, Buono, Sufficiente as Excellent, VERY GOOD, good and satisfactory/average.
