Some offices seem to require originals and some are happy with copies.  You should follow the checklist for the immigration office you're applying through.

mostly offices ask for orignal documents for translation only maybe someone who knows you personaly maybe he can translate from copy other wise its little difficult ,

A "notarized translation?"  How about a certified translation?
