i'm with cks2k2. couldnt have put it any other way.

here's what a english->BM translated document will look like:



the image on the left is the original degree (which i've deleted the name and ID in red ink ), and on the right is the simple separate A4 of the translation in BM. now u make a copy of the original document. goto a pegawai kelas A (any government officers with a degree at a considerably high post) or ur headmaster or whatever, and i. get the copy certified, ii. get the translation certified.

then staple together the certified translation to the certified copy.

do this for EVERY document that needs translation.

the translation can be done by anyone. the certification stamp is the one that needs to be done by an authorized person. i translated my certificates this way for both my masters (univ college london) and PhD (sheffield univ) applications with no problem at all. the key here is who is an authorized person?

in malaysia, it's any class A officers. in the UK, certifications must be done by a court clerk or solicitor. i believe it is the same with australia. hence why u need to pay AUD40 for the translation and certifying services.

yes, that's why it is advisable to find somebody who is credible enough to be able to read through the translations. the person who certifies are liable if there is a fraud or falsification of documents, so he must ensure that what he translate is true to the very sense. yeah, i know that sometimes malaysian class A officers couldnt care less about what they signed... hahaha...
