That is weird... I checked the definition of TRADUCE and I found it really intriguing. The same Latin root can engender very different meanings in different languages. In Romance languages the versions of the Latin TRADUCERE (a traduce, traduire, tradurre, traducir, traduzir, etc) mean to TRANSLATE. Whereas in English it means to humiliate. This is a real false friend for Romance language speakers like me...
