I think the clean way is adding a note that explicitly states that the file is a (possibly modified) translation into <programming_language_2> of code originally written in <programming_language_1> and that the original code is Copyright © <years> <original_copyright_holder> <original_permission_notice> Then the note would explicitly state that the translation (and the modifications, if any) are Copyright © <years> <your_name> <your_permission_notice> I hope I clarified what mean. Mind you, this is just what I would do, and my usual disclaimers apply: IANAL, TINLA, IANADD, TINASOTODP. -- New location for my website!
