If you do it this way loading of slime-tramp (and hence
slime-create-filename-translator) is delayed until you start slime the
frist time.  Try something like:

(defun my-slime-load-hook ()
  (push (slime-create-filename-translator ...) slime-filename-translations))

(add-hook 'slime-load-hook 'my-slime-load-hook t)

Note the APPEND argument to add-hook; slime-setup also uses
slime-load-hook to load slime-tramp so it's important that your hook is
run after that.
