I am always a bit confused about this, so I am going to interpret how I understood and please correct me if anything is wrong:

1.
In the application package, ONLY provide the biographical page(s) of the passport(s) that covers the past 4-year period. Do NOT provide stamps, translations, or old passport(s) that was expired before the 4-year period.

2.
During the test/interview, provide biographical pages of ALL the passports that you have ever possessed in your lifetime, AND photocopies of ALL passport stamps and their translations, regardless whether they were within or without the 4-year period.
For example, if I have possessed 5 passports in my life from age 1 to 30, even though only my last passport covers the required 4-year period, I still need to photocopy and translate each and every foreign stamp I got 5 or 10 or even 20 years ago?

1-You are right but some applicants send copy of all pages I personally agree with you.
2-Should provide 4 year record & Passports related to this period & translated stamps which are not in English . Here is the point all entry &exit stamps in other language should be translated at the time of interview because for example if these are related to before 4 year but citizenship officer can say that he don't understand this language.

Say if I am going to apply in Sept 2014, and my current passport was issued in March 2010 which has all the travel records since then. For sure I will translate each and every stamp on my current passport. But what about my old passport used before March 2010, if there were some foreign stamps but everyone knows these dates can only be before March 2010?
