Is the word traduziu the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "traduziu" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels tend to be more "reduced" or shortened, making them sound more closed or even nearly silent. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are generally more open, melodic, and clearly articulated.
