I never took Latin myself, but I’ll drop an e-mail to a Latin translator and see if we can answer this authoritatively. Thanks very much for your comment.

As fas as I can remember from my high school days, traductores should be the right Latin word. In fact, “tradurre” is a fairly recent word introduced, maybe by mistake, by Leonardo Bruni, the author of the first treaty on translation (De interpretationes recta 1420 -1426).

To translate should be rendered as (con)vertere, as “traducere” means “to trasport, to move”.

Anyway, what I found really curios is the Italian translation of “More about translation” as “L’arte della traduzione” in the Juvenes Translatores website.

Cheers
