Correct Answer
B. When the conveyance and its certificates are accompanied by an English translation executed and acknowledged as required, or by a duly designated translator’s sworn certified translation
Detailed Explanation
Section 333 allows recording through a compliant English translation path. Real Property Law §333(2) bars recording unless the conveyance and its acknowledgment/proof materials are in English, except where accompanied by a properly executed English translation by the grantor side or by a sworn translation from a person duly designated by a county judge or supreme court justice. Not to be confused with ordinary authentication under Executive Law §133, this is a recording-language requirement.
