>Is translation considered a derivative work?
Yes , translation is a derivative work in the US.
Title 17, Section 101
"A 'derivative work' is a work based upon one or more preexisting works,
such as a* translation*, musical arrangement, dramatization,
fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction,
abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast,
transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions,
annotations, elaborations, or other modifications, which, as a whole,
represent an original work of authorship, is a 'derivative work'."
