How detailed must a transcript and subject outline translation be?
Every subject, credit value, grade, the grading scale and any endnotes must be translated. Do not summarise, and do not convert grades into an Australian scale yourself.
In-depth Answer
Assessors and universities use transcripts to benchmark level and volume of learning, so they need the raw data.
A translation must include every subject in every term, credit values, grades, cumulative averages, and — crucially — the grading-scale legend usually printed on the reverse, since that is how an assessor interprets what a grade means.
What you must not do is convert Thai grades into an Australian scale or compute equivalences: that is the assessor's role, and adding information absent from the original invites doubt about the whole document.
For subject outlines, professional bodies typically want topic-level content and contact hours, so translate the institution's official curriculum document — stamped by the institution — rather than website text.
