Apostille two times of the same document with a translation added

It's perfectly possible and common.

Usually, the procedure goes as follows:

Start with an official document that you need to use abroad.
Get that document apostilled by the appropriate government authority in the country of issue (could be perhaps a Department of Education or Foreign Affairs or something else).
Get the document including the apostille translated by a sworn translator. The translator will give you a translation including a "translator's statement" saying something like "I, a sworn translator, hereby certify that this translation is accurate.". This statement is your new official document that you need apostilled.
Get the translation (actually, the statement) apostilled by the appropriate authority (perhaps the court that's registering the translator, plus a Department of Justice or whatever is appropriate).

The final result is then a combination of four documents stapled together:

It's thus not unusual for the two apostilles to be issued by different authorities (depending on your country).
