Studying in a french high school : reference letters in French ?
Hello,
I'm going to apply to London unis soon while I'm studying in a high school in France.
I've searched about reference letters in other languages than English.
I already have two reference letters (from Maths and Physics teachers) but I don't know if I have to ask for a professional translator to translate both reference letters and high school transcripts.
Thanks for your reply, I need it badly.

You should arrange for translations. The French tutors at universities are too busy to provide in-house translation services for colleagues who do not read French.

You dont submit 'letters'.
You only reference is on the UCAS form itself and that has to be entered by your referee - you cannot see that page.
You may need to submit a formal translation of your school transcript to individual Unis - email each Uni and ask.

Speak to your English teacher at your high school and ask if they will provide your UCAS reference for you in English based on the French references provided by your other teachers.
Most UK applicants will have a single reference provided by one teacher. Often with a short section from each subject teacher.
