Hi Rogerio,
Ok so there is someone in the Brazilian team that is interested in
translating the Ooo's BasicGuide for macro programing.
It depends of what guides you're talking about. The one originally produced by Sun were under the PDL licence and ported to the wiki under this licence
What I would like to know is how did we get the first Writer book converted
to LibO ?
Are you speaking about the OOoAuthors guide? They are double licenced under GPL and CC by 3.0

1) What did we do with the license?
You have to respect what is said in the license.
I am about to change the template form Ooo's docs do our own, can I use the
license we use usually?
If they are not incompatible, you can add your license but you have to preserve the previous ones.
Since it is a translation, do I need to bother?
yes, a translation is not a creation, it's a derived work.
Kind regards
Sophie
