Ιησούς Χριστός Θεού Υιός Σώτηρ (Iesous Xristos Theou Yios Soter) is Greek for "Jesus Christ, God's son, savior." The first letter of each word spelled "ιχθύς", which is the Greek word for "fish"; from this acronym is derived the ancient and modern symbol of the "Christian fish."
In ancient times, when Christianity was forbidden, Christians would draw one half of the Christian fish in the dirt with their foot. If the person to whom they were speaking was also Christian, he or she would complete the fish.

What is the significance of fish for Jewish tradition?
Fish have no special meaning in Judaism. Fish began to have a special meaning in Christianity because the Greek word icthys (ΙΧΘΥΣ) meaning "fish" also worked as an acronym for Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter (Ἰησοῦς Χριστός Θεου Υἱός Σωτήρ) which means "Jesus Christ Son-of-God and Savior". This came out of the formation of Christianity, not from any Jewish tradition.

What is the Latin translation of The sign of Christ?
The straight answer is "Signum Christi" but you may want also "Signum Crucis" which means the Sign of the Cross. There is the ancient "IXTHYS" symbol also, which is a Greek acronym for "Iesus Xristos Theou Yios Soterios" (Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior) and the first letter of each of those five words in Greek together spells out the Greek word for 'fish' (whence we get ichthyology, or the study of fish). In the first centuries of Christianity, when you could be killed or at least persecuted for being a Christian (depending on the whim of the current Roman Emporer), the early Christians would use it as a sort of secret code, to let other Christians know with whom they could talk about their faith, to find out where the local 'underground' community was celebrating the liturgy, etc. More here: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06083a.htm .
