I assume you mean translate it so that you can distribute Greek subtitles? If this is the case then no, unless you have a license to translate it into {insert any language here} and distribute, from the copyright holder, it is never going to be "legal". The same applies to all the English fan subtitled shows on this site: technically they are all illegal.

I believe you are not breaking the law right up to the point at which you try to distribute the translations. They can't very well outlaw someone who knows Japanese from translating the show in the their head while they watch it, however they can (and have) legislated against that person writing those translations down and giving them to other people.

Please read the articles on the main page if you want to know more, as this is not a topic for the Monster forum.
