Good question. Have your teacher write it and you translate it. Or write it yourself and have your teacher sign it. But be honest if you use the second option ^^

I would call the admissions office.

I dont think you can translate the recommendation yourself...I saw somewhere that you need to have it translated by a certified translator.

Do you have an English teacher at your school?

Have him write one and help with the translation.

This assumes it is not the same teacher ... J/K

I have a thought for you: many American universities have extensive foreign language departments. If you can't get an answer out of the admissions office, have your teacher write it, make two copies, and send it with a note explaining the situation. Most likely, a faculty member will be able to translate it for the admissions committee. Make contact with the appropriate foreign language department.
