Translating project published in CodeProject in another language
-
There are a lot of great projects in CodeProject. Is it acceptable if someone translate these articles and publish in another site? I think the authors could be asked for permission.

It would depend on the license, and how the author was attributed.

Are you talking about another computer language (C# to VB) or a geo language (english to bangladeshi). I suggest both would require the translator to discuss it with the author and CP has an issue with the same article being published on another site (albiet un translated). I suggest you ask this in the site forum[^]

Anther human language. Only few chosen articles- As I understand the author holds the copyright of the article- so if author give the permission- it should be enough- and again some license allows anyone to reproduce it- The best would be if CP had multilanguage support-

I think the authors HAVE to be asked for permission. Otherwise it's copyright infringement, plain and simple. Cheers, Drew.
Thanks- We do not have intension to break the law- But my understanding is for some licenses anyone is allowed to copy the code and redistribute in any way- I am not sure about article though- The thing is when someone publish in a language other than english- and author is given credit- does not harm anyone- When machine translation is not available/ perfect translation is a huge work- no one is going to take risk

There is a distinction here you probably need to be careful of - the code is probably under the CP licence and therefore available to be USED. The ARTICLE however may not be so freely available and I think to some degree Chris and his team of Ninja laywers may have something to say about it. However it is probably more in the way of protecting our interest rather than stopping a good idea so do talk to CP about it.

I disagree. The harm is that you would be benefiting from someone else's work, without their consent. It's easy to do it the right way. Simply ask the author for permission. If you get it, great! If not, then don't use their work. Pretty easy. Cheers, Drew.
