Sie spielen eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Translation, also bei der Übersetzung der mRNA zur Herstellung von Proteinen.
Obviously, I only need to mention translation once in English, so can do away with "also bei der Übersetzung", but is it "translation of the proteins to form mRNA" or "translation of mRNA in the process of protein formation"?

translation...
...of mRNA for the manufacture of proteins
If they meant 'formation', they would have said 'Gestaltung', IMO

| What would the precise difference between 'Gestaltung' and 'Herstellung' von Proteinen be? |

protein biosynthesis
I am by no means an expert; however, I am looking at the Langenscheidt Fachwörterbuch Kompakt Biotechnologie, published in 2007.
Note from asker:
| I know Google isn't the be-all and end-all, but I get only 15 Ghits for "translation * mRNA * protein biosynthesis" as opposed to 775 for "translation * mRNA * protein synthesis". |

decoding
My suggestion if the text is written for the layman:
They play an important role in translation, the decoding of mRNA into protein.

Translation
It has to be "translation of mRNA to form proteins.", not the other around because mRNA has to be unzipped and decoded according to its triplets to determine the protein sequence.

"protein synthesis" is often used; so maybe it is best used in this context.

Yes, "protein synthesis' does sound right.

| Thanks, so does "translation of mRNA for protein synthesis" sound right? |
Discussion
This is the basic sequence:
DNA... transcription into.... mRNA.... translation into.... proteins!

e.g. http://www.smccd.net/accounts/thomsonb/240Sp09_1112_genetics... or http://www.scribd.com/doc/11580317/-Virology, which (IMHO) sound better than many with "protein formation":
