What's the difference between a certified translation and a sworn translation?

Translation Services in French, Portuguese, German, Spanish,...
For all intents and purposes, a sworn translation is required for anything to do with appearing in or presenting something to a court of law. In all other cases (personal documents, degrees, certificates, customs declarations, contracts, patents, etc.), a certified translation is usually preferred.

Question 10) What is a sworn translation?

Polydioma English
A sworn translation may be necessary in certain cases, particularly for official documents which have to be used abroad (e.g., a birth certificate, a contract, the articles of association of a company, and other notarial deeds). The only difference from an "ordinary" translation is that the sworn translation comes with a declaration and the signature of the competent translator. Whether or not a translator is a sworn translator does not say anything about his translation skills. See similar questions...
