Hi. Is it possible to send PG a collaborative/"distribued" translation (made, for instance, at Wikisource), based on an already PG published eBook?

That would require some license from the translators that would fit with PG. In several countries you have copyrights for translators.
I don't think anything would be required if the translation were made for PG of a work PG already had published, as stated above. It would be implicit in the offering of the translations to PG that it was meant for distribution through the normal PG channels. However, if the translator did want works in translation copyrighted, and distributed though PG that way, this would be the same as with any copyrighted work, and we would need a permission letter stating that this was a copyrighted work for PG ditribution and we would use the normal copyright header/footer.
