When applying for a Tier 4 student visa, should my bank statement also be in English?

I presume you are a non-Italian resident (Italian citizen do not need visa). Yes, you will need to get your bank statement translated.

I quote the information of the UK Border Agency in Italy:

> Applying for a UK visa in Italy

> More information

> If your documents are not in English or Welsh - translated documents

If you send us a document that is not in English or Welsh, it must be accompanied by a full translation that can be independently verified by us. Each translated document must contain:

• confirmation from the translator that it is an accurate translation of the original document;

• the date of the translation;

• the translator's full name and signature; and

• the translator's contact details.

the best way is to do internet banking, but from which country are u applying visa? If you have ur parents there, tell them to open a account on thier name and then once u are there, u can add ur name in that account, so that before u reached the money will be in the account and u have to wait few more days before applying. The bank statement is must for applying, coz its the proof of ur funds, or best way it to apply for loan and attach a loan letter for the proof of funds.
