There's nothing wrong with writing a foreword to a book; ones written by the translator are sometimes called something like "Translator's Foreword" or "About this Translation", etc. Whether you should write this foreword is a question that can be answered simply: Is what you want to say of interest to the reader? Will reading this foreword be time well spent? If you have very little to say but think it's important, , perhaps you can write a few sentences and call them a "Translator's Note" or something similar. However, perhaps there's an interesting story behind the translation; in that case, go ahead and write that foreword.
