I looked around some, and found the following:

The OASIS Translation Policy is discussed at
http://www.oasis-open.org/about/translation_policy.php

A list of known available translations is at
http://www.oasis-open.org/about/available_translations.php

The Policy does not address derivative works.  For
example, if someone wanted to translate part of the
language spec to help explain to non-english readers
how to use certain tags, it is not clear if that is
allowed, and if so whether one should follow the
translation policy or not.

Who at OASIS would be the one to answer such questions?
