If you have non-English stamp on your passport, it's 100% a good idea to translate those with a copy of your passport, I did translate my old passport and have it with me, and the officer was so happy when I gave her the translation with the copy of my old passport.
The rest document you don't need to make copy, just have the original ready with you for interview.

Test letter says bring the photo copies of Pass port only. But today at my Interview, officer didn't even look at those and he returned my pass port photo copies ( Not sure why they asked to bring pass port photo copies ).

Remaining all Originals is enough. If at all officer feels need any photo copies , there is a commercial photo copy mission with next to them. So don't worry about it.
