Assuming O'Reilly doesn't allow you to translate the books, why don't you just 
translate one of the GPLed books available out there?
I couldn't think of one the free books I know but for example 
www.linuxfromscratch.org has a book that is really I creating your own Linux 
distro but has a lot of nice stuff (Just looked though it once.)
Or maybe just take some one these nice online publications (like some of the 
stuff from Aryan's web site) and turn them into a book. Or if this is gonna 
be for beginners I liked the online course on linux.org.
Or, how about the KDE hand books (if they're not already in Farsi - I only use 
Farsi to type my articles so I don't know much.)
