The illustrations are of little use without permission
to adapt (translate) the accompanying text to a local
language.

The text is in the book (linked to from Flickr), but
it unclear under what terms you make the book
available for adaption.  Referring to:
   http://www.scribd.com/doc/8057714/Annual-Haircut-Day

On the colophon pages, the following rights notice appears:

"All rights reserved.  No part of this publication may be
 reproduced or distributed in any form or by any means, or
 stored in a database or retrieval system, without the
 prior written permission of the publisher."

Then, on the final page of the same work, the following rights
notice appears:

"This work is licenced under an Attribution-­Noncommercial­-Share
 Alike 2.5 India Creative Commons Licence.
 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by­-nc-sa/2.5/in/"

I think the two rights notices in this work contradict each other.
