The apostille is basically a certification of a legal document for international use. The translation can't be apostilled as it is not a legal document.

Just to add to what Debbie, said: Most people make a photocopy of their documents and then send the originals off for the apostilles. In the meantime, you can be working on the translations from the photocopies.
