FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PHYSIOTHERAPY SYLLABUS
TRANSLATIONS
By Carlos de Paula, Legal Translation Systems Director, Top
Physiotherapy Syllabus Translator in the USA
MY FRIEND ATTENDED THE SAME UNIVERSITY AS I, CAN I USE THE
SYLLABUS TRANSLATION SHE(HE) DID A WHILE AGO?
Not really, for several reasons:
1) the curriculum may not have been the same, with different
ellective, optional courses, and internships.
2) the same University can issue syllabi in different
formats, changing course descriptions from year to year. Sometimes they issue
different syllabi in the same year.
3) even on the same year, they may give you a syllabus with course
order which is different from your friend’s syllabus. Evaluators must see the
subjects in the actual format of the original.
4) for FCCPT the translation submission must come from the
translator, with a copy of the document in original language stamped by FCCPT.
CAN I DO THE TRANSLATION MYSELF TO SAVE MONEY?
No. The translation must be done by a professional
translator and properly certified. For the most part, evaluators require receiving
the translation directly from the translator to ensure non tampering.
MY SYLLABUS CONTAINS LITTLE DETAILS, IT IS TOO VAGUE. CAN I
ASK THE TRANSLATOR TO ADD MORE INFORMATION I FEED HIM?
No, you cannot. Our certified translations are not
interpretative. We cannot add or try to explain items in your document.
Evaluators will most certainly reject the translation. It has not happened to
our translations because we never accepted client’s request to further explain
items on the syllabus. Additionally, you do not need to describe to the
evaluator what is thalassotherapy, for instance, they know.
WHY IS YOUR PRICE FOR FCCPT TRANSLATIONS SO MUCH LOWER THAN
THE OTHER TRANSLATION SITES THAT ARE LISTED FIRST IN GOOGLE?
Because we do not charge per page, we charge for
translatable material. The “per-page” sites simply multiply the number of pages
by their unit price, including material that is not required (in fact, not
wanted) by FCCPT. Plus, they charge a full-page price for a page containing a
single stamp. Therefore, you should choose our experience and track record with
FCCPT translations since 1998.
I ASKED CHATGPT ABOUT PHYSIOTHERAPY SYLLABUS TRANSLATION
REQUIREMENTS. SHOULD I FOLLOW THE SCRIPT?
No. AI frequently hallucinates and compiles information from
good and bad sources. It overdoes certain things and forgets very important
things. So, AI will tell you that you need certain things done, when you do not
need them, and omit very important things you do need. As a result, you may end
up paying more for your syllabus translations, especially for FCCPT, because
you have followed bad advice. I am not singling out ChatGPT, the same applies
to Gemini, Grok, Meta AI, etc.
IERF ASKED FOR A FULL TRANSLATION. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE, WHAT
SHOULD I DO?
That is IERF’s prerogative. You should have considered that
before signing up for a less expensive evaluation. FCCPT may charge more for
the evaluation, but requires much less material, so, in the end it is less
expensive.
I NOTICED MY SYLLABUS IS FULL OF MISTAKES AND ABBREVIATIONS.
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Syllabi often come with misspellings of names of diseases,
scientists or even common words. We are often able to correct clear and obvious
misspellings. As for abbreviations, we normally provide the English equivalent
(for instance, WHO for World Health Organization) or the actual term (for
instance, DM we write diabetes mellitus).
CAN I REVIEW THE SYLLABUS TRANSLATION TEXT BEFORE SUBMISSION
TO EVALUATOR?
Yes, you can request that. We welcome any grounded
suggestions. You will get a copy of the fully certified translation by email.
