Yes, for the cases where the license is already translated, we should
use their translation.  Unfortunately, there are a number of languages
we're translating the manual into where the CC license hasn't yet been
translated.

So if the language you're translating into already has an
appropriately translated license on the CC site, then you don't have
to worry about translating the license.

If you do need to translate the license, create a new
license-LANGCODE.tex file and put the translation in there.  I'll add
LaTeX code elsewhere to pull in the language-appropriate license (or
fall back on English otherwise).

Thanks!
