It seems that English documents are accepted as well, so maybe you wouldn't even need to bother with a translation. If you do need a translation, it has to be from a "certified translator", but I'm not sure what that means exactly. It looks like you also need a place to stay before you can apply for the work permit. You'll have a hard time finding a normal apartment from abroad, since most landlords won't rent to people who aren't here, so maybe you could book a low cost hotel or a room in a student dorm, then look for a place once you started working. But all of that probably isn't that hard, and should be pretty straightforward. The only thing you really need is a company that wants to hire you.
