The answer

Working on translating permissible materials from one language to another is permissible, and it is permissible to take a wage for it, as long as the benefit and the wage are known. There is no objection to dealing with non-Muslims in this regard. If the father deals in impermissible things or violates guidelines, he must repent, as Sharia violations are among the reasons for lack of blessings. However, if he adheres to the guidelines, it may be a trial and a test, for not everyone whose sustenance is abundant is honored, nor is everyone whose sustenance is restricted humiliated. The scarcity of sustenance may be due to the servant's sins, and seeking forgiveness is a cause for sustenance and blessing, while disobedience is a cause for calamities. Allah tests His servants with blessings and calamities so that they may be patient and grateful.
