Great praise would be "magna cum laude", not "cum laude". But thanks.

| Hi Nick, are you saying that there is no need to translate this? The person who sent me the document is actually asking for its meaning... |

degree conferred with praise/honor
http://www.wikicu.com/Latin_phrases#Latin_honors
The levels for Latin honors are:
Summa Cum Laude: "with highest praise"
Magna Cum Laude: "with great praise"
Cum Laude:
The official translation of Yale diploma - "magna cum laude" = "great praise".

: Most of the time, it has to stay in Latin. I've never come across "with praise" on a degree certificate so that wouldn't be my preferred translation if the Latin bit has to go.

: I like "with distinction". Laus in Latin can refer either to the language itself ("praise"), or to the action which merits the praise ("merit, distinction, reknown"). I have had clients who insist on an English translation of every word in a diploma.

Eu sei. Também sou da opinião de que não se deve traduzir. Foi apenas um comentário sobre The person who sent me the document is actually asking for its meaning...

cum laude gradus delatus = cum laude degree conferred which is like saying
"habeas corpus" = (do the lawyers need to know what this means?) or "caveat emptor" - et cœtera (or does that need to be explained too :-)
do Doctors need to have "post mortem" explained to them
You've got CUM LAUDE, then + GOOD, EXTRA GOOD, or SUPER GOOD!
As it is an Academic Certificate (for academics) it makes no sense whatever to try and translate it.
My PhD is from a Spanish University - I have just got CUM LAUDE (which is good enough for me) with the grade "SOBRESALIENTE" which basically is 9/10 :-)
Leave it as it is! It's Latin. It's academic! Who else is he or she going to impress!
