Question re translated documents for D visa

I'm trying to get my D visa paperwork sorted out as quickly as possible, but have a problem with delays getting my apostilled documents back.

I know I need to submit apostilled documents, but the question is, does the translation need to be done on the actual apostilled documents?

When applying for things like the ACRO check, I bought two or three just in case there were any problems. So it's the genuine official document, identical to the one I sent off to be apostilled. Just without the apostille.
