If you make the translation, thats no problem at all. The original author has no rights over translations.
I think you might be mistaken - that would lead to a logical contradiction, as you could translate back into the original language, and claim copyright over the result, which would be very similar to the original.
Hmm, further research suggests I am wrong.

You own the copyright in the translation, but it can still infringe on the copyright of the original.
