Thank you for your answer,
to my regret the copy paste option and
creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ does not help. The simple reason is
it would not enjoy readers of a german text to find an english installation

I do not agree. Can you show me exactly where in
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode
it prevents you from translating the work? (See section "3. License Grant.")
The problem is, that a translation is not just a remix but an act of
creative originality and therefore with an own copyright. So I (and may be

Better for sage to "spread the world" would be a general allowance to
translate the installation manual.
I am only speaking of the installation manual! Because, as I pointed out in
another mail, such a description of installation steps do have a degree of
(creative) freedom close to zero!

You are right! I found the relevant passage concerning translations to
other languages :
*3. License Grant.* Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to
exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
a. ...
b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such
Adaptation, including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable
steps to clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes
were made to the original Work. For example, a translation could be
marked "The original work was translated from English to Spanish," or a
modification could indicate "The original work has been modified.";
In a first browsing my attention just was focused on "any translation in
any medium", translation to another language is just in the next sentence.
So I think I have understood this topic and I do not see a problem for a
translation or an adaption.
Tnx for your kind and patient help!
