I want to connect two routers to a switch which will then be connected to a modem. Now as far as I know a switch does not do network translation and this won't work with one IP address. So I bought two addresses at my ISP.
here any additional configuration needed on either of the routers ( TP-Link TL-SF1005D) to make this work or will it "Just Work"?

You may have to manually configure the WAN address on the two routers or provide the WAN MAC addresses to your ISP so that they can allocate the two IP addresses. It will depend on how your ISP works. You should get instructions from your ISP on what they require you to do.

That would be typical for ONE IP address. I would ask their support if there is anything special you need to do for TWO IP addresses....
