is the following use of the word 'translated' correct?
Pretty much. Translate etymologically means to 'carry over; transfer'. In fact translatus is the perfect passive participle of transfero 'to carry over, convey, transplant'. If you read hagiographies, those saints' bones are always getting translated somewhere: like from the Holy Land to Europe.
