contents A translation surface in the three-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$ is a surface generated by the quaternionic product of two curves, called generating curves. In this paper, we present rigidity results for such surfaces. We introduce an associated frame for curves in $\mathbb{S}^3$, and by means of it, we describe the local intrinsic and extrinsic geometry of translation surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^3$. The rigidity results, concerning minimal and constant mean curvature surfaces, are given in terms of the curvature and torsion of the generating curves and their proofs rely on the associated frame of such curves. Finally, we present a correspondence between translation surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^3$ and translation surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We show that these surfaces are locally isometric, and we present a relation between their mean curvatures.
