That is my opinion as well, and seems to be backed by various FRC Q&As.
This one from last year (I know, I know - last year is not this year) said that translators were not considered portable computing devices.
This one from 2007 indicates that any USB->15 pin adapter (if such a thing other than the Chicklet exists) is legal as long as it does not draw external power. Logically, that would extend to any sort of adapter that does not require external power. Attached is a picture of our OI with the two adapter boards that we designed and used.
Regarding the original topic, if it's USB couldn't you just use the Chicklet and be done with it?
