I want to know that on my citizenship interview they want me to bring all documents which i submitted with my application so is it okay to take my Passport translations with me on interview which i did not submitted with my application?
Citizenship Interview Checklist

Its always safe to carry all the documents with you (including your translation docs) than not to carry them at all. They might or might not ask but what do you have to lose right?Husseinsyed said:

Over prepare. Take EVERYTHING. Keep two folders with you. Keep only essential and necessary documents in one and keep that handy. Keep all other documents in the other folder and keep that in your bag. Take translations. You don't want to give any reason causing delay to your process.
Prepare a likely list of questions you may be asked. Write their answers. Practice answering. Be ready.Don't fumble. Be honest. If you don't remember anything, say it. Dress up. Be normal, be yourself.

Last I looked at the instructions for the citizenship application it explicitly instructed, in the gather documents portion, to have proper translations of all information in documents that is not in one of the official languages.
In other words, not just a good idea to bring translations of passport and stamps of any part not in English or French, but it is mandated. This has not been strictly enforced, and indeed I did not bother to get a few older stamps translated, as they were easily understood without translation, but particularly if not in a Western European language and more than just a few stamps easily understood without translation, be sure to take a proper translation.
Otherwise, while it may be prudent to carry some extra documentation, there is no need to bring a lot of proof as it is not likely to make any difference in how things go. If IRCC has questions about meeting the residency or presence requirement, those questions are not likely to be resolved by documents brought to the test interview. Thus, for example, perhaps bring CRA Notices of Assessment, or rental agreement, but not much more. That said, be sure to review both the instructions in the notice itself, and follow those, and to review what the guide for citizenship application says about gathering documents.
In particular, review the requirements for what constitutes a proper translation.
