In preparing my application to PhD programs I have the following question:
I have presented papers in two distinct large-scale local conferences. However, I am not sure how to list these on my CV in a verifiable way, since the conferences' websites and programs are not in English.
For journal papers I can simply provide the corresponding links, while for conference papers I have not come up with something helpful.
The difficulty thus lies in: How to convince the reader of my vita that these papers are conference papers?
Answer
Not everything on your CV needs to be verifiable via an Internet link.
I have many items on my CV that would require some interaction with a human to verify: degrees I've earned, summer research students I've mentored, seminar talks I've given, classes I've taught, etc.
As long as you can, on demand, provide contact information for someone who can confirm your presentation (e.g. conference organizer), I don't see why this is a concern.
If you want to provide a link to the non-English conference program, go ahead; someone who is sufficiently motivated can surely get it translated.
(I'm sure this goes without saying, but since I've seen a shocking number of CVs that say "Presented at Conference X" without further information I'll say it anyways: you must include the full details of each presentation, including its title, co-authors if there were any, full name of conference, date, and city.)
