Now, and habits. traduis covers both "I translate" and "I am translateing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and traduit does not — ai traduit.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so traduisons gives you traduisais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; traduire never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on traduir-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about traduire
The past participle is traduit, and it takes avoir in the passé composé — so it never changes shape, whoever the subject is. No agreement to remember here.
The futur simple is built on traduir-, which is just the infinitive — the endings are the whole story, nothing new to learn for this tense.
In the present, je, tu and il/elle are one sound: traduis, traduit — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous, vous and ils/elles carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know traduisons you already know traduisais, traduisait and traduisaient. Futur proche keeps traduire untouched.
