Recently, I had a similar request. Someone without Internet access 
wanted more LilyPond documentation, the Snippet Repository in 
particular. I ended up sending them a CD that included the LilyPond 
2.18.2 Doc tarball:

http://lilypond.org/all.html
http://lilypond.org/downloads/binaries/documentation/lilypond-2.18.2-1.documentation.tar.bz2

Near as I can tell, that includes all available LilyPond documentation 
and translations.

I also included LilyPond 2.18.2:
http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/mingw/lilypond-2.18.2-1.mingw.exe

And Frescobaldi 2.19.0:
https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/releases/download/v2.19.0/Frescobaldi.Setup.2.19.0.exe

Apparently translations are included in those setup files. Frescobaldi's 
Edit -> Preferences menu allows setting the language, if its usual 
"System Default Langauge" option doesn't pick it up properly from 
Windows. So far, I haven't seen anything for these programs that says 
32-bit versus 64-bit makes a difference under Windows.

As for getting the files onto the flash drive, I don't think it matters 
how you do it. But I would recommend plugging the drive into a different 
computer, to make sure the files ARE actually on it before it gets shipped.
