Two ideas for the translation: you could type a translation in English for the admissions people, or if someone else in your area can translate Kannad mother tongue into something a bit more known internationally, that might help. Is Kannad a dialect in India? I am just guessing. If so, maybe someone can translate it from Kannad to whatever is more known…Hindi/Urdu? and Brown can take it from the more familiar language.

Actually, I would do both. Send them your English version, and a translation from Kannad to whatever is more universally understood.

I agree that the teacher recommendation letter, and work you do there, sounds very interesting. You might also email ahead to Brown Admissions to ask if they need an official translation or will just take the above as sufficiently “official.” No matter what translations you add, be sure to also submit the handwritten words from the teachers themselves! And keep a copy for yourself, or ask them to write it more than one time. It is a treasure and if it were me, I would always want to keep that letter.

I have no idea on the first question, but hopefully others will. Good luck!

PS: Is there instruction on the Brown website about official translation for letters of recommendation? That might guide you. Check that out first, before you email admissions to ask more about this translation. In general, whenever you write to Admissions, mention that you’ve already searched the website thoroughly for the answer, but just need “further clarification.”
