Praise be to Allah.
    The problem is not the ruling on your mother’s translating 
    for her mother what comes in the TV screen, rather it actually has to do 
    with the grandmother being preoccupied with those shows when it is better 
    for her – as she is getting on in years – to spend her time in worshipping 
    and obeying Allaah, and striving to acquire provisions for the day when she 
    undertakes the journey (i.e., death), and doing a lot of the means of 
    attaining success before Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted. 

    Imam Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, as quoted by 
    al-Qurtubi in his Tafseer (7/276): 

    I met the people of knowledge in our land and they would seek 
    worldly gain and mix with people until they reached the age of forty, then 
    when they reached that age, they would withdraw from people. End quote. 

    It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with 
    him) that the Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah be 
    upon him) said: “Allaah has left no excuse for a man whose lifespan He 
    expanded until he reached the age of sixty years.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari 
    (6419). 

    Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Baari (11/240): 

    “left no excuse” means He gave him plenty of opportunities, 
    therefore he has no excuse for not doing acts of worship even though he was 
    able because of the lifespan that was granted to him. Therefore he should do 
    nothing but seek forgiveness, obey Allaah and turn his full attention to the 
    Hereafter. What is meant is that Allaah did not leave him any reason or 
    excuse. Ibn Battaal said: Sixty is mentioned here because it is very close 
    to death and it is the age when people turn to Allaah and focus on worship 
    and watch for death, so he should turn his full attention to the Hereafter, 
    because it is impossible for him to go back to his former state of energy 
    and strength. End quote.  

    Our advice to you and your mother is to keep advising your 
    grandmother to occupy herself with prayer, dhikr, reading Qur’aan and saying 
    du’aa’, and help her to do that by all means available. You will find that 
    this will distract her from watching the things shown on the TV which incur 
    the wrath of Allaah and which are of no worldly or religious benefit. 

    Whatever the case, it is not permissible for your mother to 
    translate for her mother anything but that is permissible of the things that 
    appear on the TV. As for the haraam things, such as foolish soap operas and 
    interviews, it is not permissible for her to help her understand them, 
    rather she should tell her not to watch them, but there is nothing wrong 
    with her watching beneficial programs. 

    We ask Allaah to grant you goodness and happiness in this 
    world and in the Hereafter.

    And Allaah knows best.
