It's my understanding that "sweat of the brown" does not create a copyright 
 at all.
That was the entire argument behind the claim that phonebooks had no  
copyright protection.
Similarly pure indexes have no copyright protection since they exhibit no  
creativity at all.
Bad news for indexers.

I would  expect that to vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For
example,  jurisdictions that includes some kind of "sweat of the brow"
doctrine would  probably protect translations. What jurisdiction are
you referring  to?
