Correct Answer
B. The translator must sign, acknowledge, and certify under oath or affirmation that the translation is true and accurate.
Detailed Explanation
Translation rules come from the recording statute, not notary custom. Real Property Law §333 allows recording of a non-English conveyance only if an appropriate English translation is attached, and when made by a judge-designated translator it must be signed, acknowledged, and certified under oath or affirmation as true and accurate. In contrast, proper names may remain in another language if written in English letters or characters.
