It doesn't violate any of the site rules as long as you properly cite the author and include their licensing as some licenses (CC BY-NC) have non-commercial restrictions that need to be upheld. I would also recommend messaging the author just to let them know that you're thinking of translating their story just for the sake of transparency.
