I don't think there's anything wrong with patching a game you legally purchased / imported so that you can experience it in your language of choice. Or even so that all the characters are wearing frilly pink dresses, hey, whatever gets your fancy. As long as you're not pirating the game.

AFAIK the trick that's used to avoid piracy with patches these days is xdelta: it stores only the xor'd bytes (the change from the original), so it contains none of the original copyrighted data.

That said, there are probably other places better suited for translation patches.
