Spanish term or phrase: aprobado, suspenso, notable, sobresaliente, matrícula de honor, no presentado
Hola,
estoy traduciendo una certificación académica y no tengo demasiado claro como traducir las notas. Es un certificado español que ha de ser enviado al extranjero, pero en Europa y está redactado en un cuadro, con lo que los términos no aparecen en una frase sino por separado.
He encontrado diversas traducciones para cada una de las calificaciones pero querría saber si hay algún "estándar" en cuanto a Europa se refiere.


Saludos,
Laura Gómez

agree  Belli: How about "withdrawal" for no presentado?
10 mins
agree  Victoria Porter-Burns: yes, I'd say 'excellent' for 'sobresaliente'
11 mins
agree  Sandra Holt: I always put "excellent" too for "sobresaliente"
2 hrs
agree  Nelida Kreer: I also agree with "excellent" for "sobresaliente". Should "notable" not be "very good"?? In my country, the "good" is equated with "pass", don't know in Europe. But I feel "notable" is a tad better than good.
