When most Leanpub authors want to publish a translation of one of their books, they create a new book themselves. This means they are the primary author of the new book (when you create a book yourself, you are automatically the primary author).
Next, they add the translator as a co-author. That way, the book will appear on both the primary author's Leanpub profile page, and on the translator's Leanpub profile page.
After you create a new book, you can indicate it is a translation of another Leanpub book by going to the "About" page for the new book here:
https://leanpub.com/YOUR_BOOK/settings/about
...making sure to replace YOUR_BOOK with your book's unique web address.

After you have selected the relevant book, click the blue "Update Book" button at the bottom of the page:
On your new book's Leanpub landing page, in the "About the Book" section, it will now display a sentence about the translation, with a link to the translated book:
