Can you tell me what 'diplo sa a setifye' means in Creole. Or do I need a "m" after the diplo? I want to say "this award certifies that" I'm hoping if it's french it will be OK as is because I'm using a PDF template and can't change it.

It's "Diplòm" with an "m" attach at the end. (Yes, you need the "m")

Diplòm → certificate, diploma, award, official document

"Diplòm Sa a Sètifye" is Creole for "This diploma certifies" or "This certificate attests" or "This award certifies"

Don't forget the accents on the letters.
