I think that interpretation (from one language to another) is permitted
1Co:14:26: How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
But ‘interpretation’ in the sense of ‘explaining a meaning’ is permitted, as long as the subject is not a prophecy.
2Pe:1:20: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe:1:21: For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Of course, these latter verses could be interpreted as not ‘translating’ a prophecy or (see ‘private’) it may be done publicly or with agreement of others as lon as there is the guidance of The Holy Spirit.
