A photo copy of it is all that is needed to be sent in with I-485. The translation can be a copy, and is considered to be "certified" as long as the translator signed it, and made notation like:

"[typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_________________________________

Date Typed Name

Address

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

In fact all evidence mailed to them should be photo copies, just the I-485, I-864, ETC. should be originals.

The translator should be a certified one . For example, the translator that did my certificate is one that is recommened by the Tunisian embassy. I used one they provided... And it really worked to my advantage. Get a translator that is certified that know the court system that way if you need copies they can pick them up.. Mine had to go do that and it really really really helped

We are speaking of translations that will be used in a US filed petition with the USCIS and translations used by a foreign consulate (a part of the Department of State). The only "harm" you will experience using a "certified" translator versus the USCIS standard, will be to your pocketbook.

Yep, that is why I quoted USCIS website, the OP is filing for AOS, and only has to follow the standards recommended by USCIS.
