For ex we have x264 C/C++ H264 encoding open source GPL lib. We translate it from… C\C++ to Java or C# should we license our code as GPL?

This page says that py2exe is GPL licensed (bottom of the page)

License The py2exe project itself is MIT licensed.
But if you're only using it to compile your own non-gpl code, you don't have to release your own code.

No more than using gcc to compile code put the GPL on the code.
The authors misspoke; GPL does not impose any restrictions about using the software, only about distributing the software and its derivatives.

GPL 3 is many things, and one of them.
I don't know enough about the GPL v2 to give these things (and more), they more than doubled the length of the GPL.
But I think you're talking about the GPL v2 and GPL v3.

GPL only applies to "copying, distribution and modification" as stated in the license itself.

So a company could use and request an alternate license .
However users of the A+B+C system will not be allowed to redistribute the "bundle" because it would be a violation of C's license (GPL).
With C (GPL-only), that is not a problem.
