TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on how to handle the translation of their German bank statement, which is complicated by their home bank's policies. Responses from the community suggest that translating the statement may not be necessary, as providing key information like name, account number, and balances could suffice. Others mentioned successfully requesting English versions directly from their banks or using online templates for self-translation.

Mine was in German too. I just asked the bank to send me an English version. Done.

Your bank statement and the course fee is the most important thing they want to see.
