You can go ahead and translate any of the existing
howtos and/or guides.
1)verify whether the license allows for translation(
its considered a form of modification). GNU FDL,
creative common licenses or any BSDish license should
allow this. If you are in doubt confirm this with the
list.
2)Please send the authors/maintainers a note letting
them know that you are currently trying to translate
their document just in case they are going to update
the document in a short time.

It would be better if you can mail the other German
translator and coordinate your work.
