El traductor jurado firma la traducción jurada.

Yes. In this sentence, jurado means sworn in both places:

• traductor jurado = sworn translator
• traducción jurada = sworn translation

It changes form because it agrees with the noun:

• traductor is masculine singular, so: jurado
• traducción is feminine singular, so: jurada

So it is the same adjective, but with different gender endings.

Because the two nouns have different grammatical genders:

• traductor is a masculine noun, so it takes el
• traducción is a feminine noun, so it takes la

This is grammatical gender, not biological sex in the case of traducción, since it is an object, not a person.

They are related, but they are different parts of speech:

• traductor = translator → a person
• traducción = translation → the translated document or text

This is a useful pattern in Spanish:

• -or often refers to a person who does an action
• -ción often refers to the action or result

So here:

• traducir = to translate
• traductor = translator
• traducción = translation

In Spanish, adjectives often come after the noun, especially when they classify or identify the noun.

So:

• traductor jurado
• traducción jurada

This is the normal word order. Putting jurado/jurada before the noun would sound unusual here and would not be the standard expression.

Firma here is the third person singular of the verb firmar:

• firmar = to sign
• firma = he/she signs

So:

• El traductor jurado firma la traducción jurada = The sworn translator signs the sworn translation

It is not a noun here. As a noun, firma can also mean signature, but in this sentence it is clearly a verb.

Because la traducción jurada is a thing, not a person.

In Spanish, the personal a is usually used before a specific person (or sometimes a pet/personified being) as a direct object:

• Veo a María
• Llamo al traductor

But here the object is a document:

• firma la traducción jurada

So no personal a is used.

If the translator is a woman, standard Spanish would normally say:

• la traductora jurada

So in this sentence, el traductor jurado refers to a male sworn translator, or it could be a generic masculine in some contexts. But if you know the person is female, traductora jurada is the natural form.

Not exactly. In Spain, traductor jurado has a specific official meaning: a translator authorized to produce translations with legal validity, usually for official documents.

So this is more specific than just professional translator or certified translator in a general sense. The exact equivalent can vary by country, but in Spain traductor jurado is a fixed legal/official term.

Because the subject is singular:

• El traductor jurado = one sworn translator

So the verb must also be singular:

• firma = signs

If the subject were plural, the verb would change:

• Los traductores jurados firman la traducción jurada

The sentence structure helps:

• El traductor jurado comes before the verb, so it is the subject
• firma is the verb
• la traducción jurada comes after the verb, so it is the direct object

In other words:

• who does the action? → el traductor jurado
• what is signed? → la traducción jurada

Yes, that is a very natural and accurate translation.

It matches the Spanish structure closely:

• El = the
• traductor jurado = sworn translator
• firma = signs
• la traducción jurada = the sworn translation

So this is one of those cases where a close, literal translation works well.

In Spain Spanish, traducción is pronounced approximately tra-dook-THYON.

A few key points:

• cc before i/e gives a k + th sound in Spain:
  • traducción → traduk-thión
• the final -ción is very common in Spanish and sounds roughly like -thyon in Spain
• the written accent in traducción shows the stress falls on the last syllable: -ción

If you use Latin American pronunciation, the th sound is usually s, so it sounds more like tra-dook-SYON.

Yes. It follows a very standard Spanish pattern:

article + noun + adjective + verb + article + noun + adjective

So:

• El traductor jurado
• firma
• la traducción jurada

This makes it a useful model sentence for learning:

• noun-adjective agreement
• article-noun gender
• a simple present-tense verb
• basic subject-verb-object word order
