: Re: How to license my translation to be published under my copyright? I am planning to translate a paper and distribute it with my name as translator with a license that permits free redistribution

Is the document you are translating copyright protected? Does the current copyright allow you to distribute the document?

You don't acquire any copyright interest in a document simply by translating it unless you have an agreement with the copyright holder that specifically gives you such an interest. Translation is typically done as Work for Hire, and the original copyright owner retains all copyrights to the translation. You would only be allowed to translate and distribute the translated document if the original is published under some type of full or limited "public domain" copyright. If it is not, you are opening yourself to rather significant fines for copyright violation.
