Is it permissible to assist in translating parts of a magazine that publishes pictures of women (veiled and unveiled), advocates for ideas of coexistence between religions, does not recognize jizya, and contains manifestations of women's work, knowing that my sister who requested the assistance is unveiled, appears in online meetings, and sometimes meets her male colleagues in person?

If the speech to be translated is free from religious prohibitions, then translating it is not forbidden; because translation falls under the same ruling as writing. Therefore, what is not permissible to write is not permissible to translate, nor is it permissible to take a wage for it. Nevertheless, it is better and safer to avoid it entirely, as a form of denouncing the reality mentioned about the magazines.
