Number of sajdahs to make if a person read an aayat of sajdah in Arabic and English

Q: I am reading a Quraan khatam in Arabic and then the English translation, page by page. When I reach the sajdahs, do I make sajdah tilawah twice? Once for the Arabic and once for the english translation ?

A: If you made tilaawat of an aayat of sajdah and then you read the translation of the same aayat in the same sitting, then only one sajdah will be compulsory.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
