ANSWER:

You must not do that in Fard prayer.

In voluntary prayers, you can do that providing you only read the Arabic. Reading the translation would nullify your prayers. 

I know only a few short surah and, because of that, my salah is very short and I don’t get peace and calmness when praying. The salah is finish before I could focus. The longer I stay in salah, the more I benefit from it. For this reason, is it permissible to hold a book that has the arabic script of juz amma as well as the translitteration of the ayat during Salah in order to read longer suras?
