Answer 2

The correct answer is:

3) didn't need to translate

Let's break down the options and analyze them:

1) don't need to: This phrase is used to express a general statement or a future action. It does not fit in the given context because it implies that the person currently doesn't need to translate but doesn't specify whether they did or not.

2) needn't have translated: This phrase is used to indicate that an action was not necessary in the past but was still performed. In the given context, it implies that the person actually did translate, but it was not necessary for them to do so.

3) didn't need to translate: This is the correct option. It indicates that the person had the ability to translate, but it was not necessary for them to do so because someone else did it. This option matches the context provided in the sentence.

4) needn't translated: This option is grammatically incorrect. The verb "translated" is missing the auxiliary verb "have" to form the correct past participle.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3) didn't need to translate.
