From what I can see, the cc for "Rails in a Nutshell" has a non-conmmercial condition whereas the ruby on rails guides don't. You can translate both but you can't sell your translation of the O'Reilly title.
I hope this helps.

Inappropriate?Hi Alex
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. Regardless of what method you use to put together a translation, you would still need a license from us in order to publish a translation. The only exception to this would be if the original work is under a creative commons license which permits derivative works. I can check this for you if you let me know what title you are interested in. Please email me on helen@oreilly.co.uk.
Best

Inappropriate?We are translating “Rails in a Nuthsell” http://rails-nutshell.labs.oreilly.com/ -
Inappropriate?This title isn't under Creative Commons so if you are interested in publishing a translation, please email me with your proposal.
Thanks

Inappropriate?Text on the page says: “This work has been released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license.” Is there an error?
We want to publish our translation in the web, not in a book. We do not want to get money for it, only to give a nice book to russian rails-developers.1 Comment Add a comment

As long as you don't sell the book and you follow the terms of the CC license, yes you can translate and make the translation available on the web. -
Inappropriate?Helen, thanks for answer. Maybe, we are not feel difference between "Creative Commons __Attribution-Noncommercial__ license” and http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b... (for example http://guides.rubyonrails.org/).
Alexander Semyonov, lets try to translate guides.rubyonrails.org :) -
