According to the Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)), any document in a foreign language submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) must be accompanied by a complete and accurate English translation certified by the translator, who must also certify his or her competence to translate from the foreign language into English.
What is required in the U.S. and in most English-speaking countries?

U.S. institutions generally do not require physical originals. High-quality digital copies (PDF or JPEG) are usually acceptable. However, requirements vary, so we recommend asking the specific institution whether a digital copy is acceptable or if the original document is required.
