English term (edited):
A, B, C
Selected
4.0 - 2.0
I think that it depends on the country (and, within the country, the region) but in the U.S. most schools consider an A to be equal to a grade of 4.0, a B to be equal to a grade of 3.0 and a C to be equal to a grade of 2.0. HTH.

If you're referring to counting down from 100 then 90 -100 (more or less) is usually equal to an A, 80 -90 is a B, 70 -80 is a C, 60 -70 is a D and below 60 is an F.

Here's a link (one among many) that gives you a clearer idea of what many schools do. http://www.washington.edu/students/gencat/front/Grading_Sys.... This one is applicable to the 4.0 - 1.0 grade scale, I'll see if I can find an example of the other (60 -100).

Here's an example of the second one http://users.ipfw.edu/blythes/teach/grades_how_calc.htm Hope this all helps to more precisely answer your question.

Why translate?
There are many systems of grading in use in different universities and other institutions. You haven't specified even as much as which country this is supposed to relate to, and what nationality is supposed to be reading these numbers.
Any suggestion would be a complete stab in the dark. In any case, if you are translating an educational certificate or the like, it is not part of your job to "translate" or convert the grades. There are educational experts to do that. You should leave the grades exactly as they are.

: You're right. I always leave the grades "as is," since it is the job of the people reviewing the diplomas to come up with equivalents.
