I can get most the paperwork necessary in English directly from their respective institutions if I so request.

However for the few that I cannot, can I translate them myself or is that seen as suspicious?

I'm a few ECTS away from being BA of English Language and Translation Studies and by the time we expect to be in the process, possibly compiling packet number 2, I should be a thesis away from being a MA in the aforementioned field. So in terms of my English, as well as formal education, I should be well qualified to translate a few silly slips of paper.

But are they going to be considered "adequate"? Have other people translated their own documents?

It is stated that the documents must be translated by a person with good grasp of the English language, but that does not necessarily rule myself out, does it?

Yes you cam translate documents yourself. Dont forget to type on a sheet of paper a certification that you are fluent in both languages etc.

It is not where I breathe but where I love that I live.

Do I have to do anything besides state that I am fluent in both languages? Do I have to prove myself in any way? I just write on a sheet of paper that I, Miss X, am fluent in both languages?
