German grades run backwards
German grades run from 1.0, the best, to 4.0, the lowest pass, with 5.0 a fail. A German transcript - a Transcript of Records or Notenspiegel - showing a 1.3 is outstanding, and a US reader who assumes higher is better will read it exactly the wrong way round.
The translation reproduces the grades as printed and the scale with them, so there is no room for that mistake, and ECTS credits are carried over exactly. The final Zeugnis and the degree certificate, the Urkunde, are separate documents and are translated as such.
