A sworn translation is a legally recognized translation performed by a translator who has taken an official oath, guaranteeing the accuracy and legal validity of the translated document.

宣誓翻译是指由已宣誓的翻译人员完成的、具有法律效力的翻译，该翻译人员通过宣誓保证翻译文件的准确性和法律效力。

Definition and Legal Significance

定义与法律意义

A sworn translation (also called official translation or public sworn translation) is a word-for-word translation of a document that is formally declared to be accurate and faithful to the original. The translator takes an official oath before a competent legal authority, such as a court, notary, or government office, and assumes legal responsibility for the translation’s accuracy, which may carry civil or criminal liability if knowingly inaccurate. The completed translation is typically stamped and signed, giving it legal recognition for official use. 

宣誓翻译（也称为官方翻译或公证翻译）是对文件的逐字翻译，并正式声明该翻译准确且忠实于原文。译员需在法院、公证处或政府机关等有管辖权的法律机构面前宣誓，并对译文的准确性承担法律责任；若明知译文有误仍予翻译，可能承担民事或刑事责任。完成的译文通常会加盖公章并由译员签名，从而获得法律认可，可用于官方用途。
