Practice can vary between jurisdictions, but usually it means:
-a notary or equivalent notarizes the copy of the original document to which the translation is attached;
-the translator certifies that the translation is a true and faithful translation (in many places this is a stamp with signature, but main thing is certifid acc to local rules for official translations).

Befor they used to be physically bound together, sometimes by ribbon (to make sure the translation is of the document that's attached).

In practice, this is not that complicated: go to a notary or translation bureau and tell them you need an official translation and copy "for the Embassy" and - usually - they'll take care of both steps, either internally or with a partner agency.* They both do this all the time - it's bread and butter work - especially for translation bureaux.

* In some jurisdictions they're separate by requirement of the professional licenses, but again - mostly you don't have to worry about that.
