Mexican Transcript
I am translating a Mexican Transcript from Universidad de Colima. The certificate is "Certificado Total" and reads:
"Se seguem constancias que obran en el expediente no. .... del BACHILLERATO TECNICO NO. 1....
In some places I see bachillerato is High School.
In others it can be a Bachelor's Degree.
There are several Proz discussions but everyone has a different opinion.

Bachillerato Técnico (Technical High School Diploma) (no. 1)
The Bachillerato in Mexico is definitely most equivalent to the high school leaving diploma in the US, not the bachelor's degree. I'd leave it in Spanish with an explanation in English.
These "technical" high school courses are usually directed at people choosing a "vocational" qualification that leaves them the possibility of continuing with higher education or going into work that requires a certain level of technical proficiency prior to entry.

: Similar to the baccalauréat, I imagine, but more technically oriented.

Thanks, Neil, only I don't think swapping one foreign word for another is a good solution here because none of them are actually the same.
