traductor certificado : No confundir con traductor público(Argentina, Uruguay) o traductor jurado(España).

Los traductores públicos o jurados son los autorizados por la ley para realizar traducciones con carácter oficial. En el caso argentino, el traductor público debe haber cursado materias de derecho, que no es necesariamente el caso de un traductor certificado en Canadá aunque ambos cumplan funciones fedatarias, es decir que dan fe de que lo que traducen es fiel a su original y pueden así certificarlo mediante una declaración jurada. 2, record 3, Spanish, - traductor%20certificado
