: ISBN and international translations for sale in another country If I understand the ISBN correctly, if I as a publisher, created a Spanish translation here in the US, but was also selling it

If I understand the ISBN correctly, if I as a publisher, created a Spanish translation here in the US, but was also selling it in, say, Brazil, do I need a separate ISBN issued from Brazil where the printing may occur, or do I just use a number I already own and assign it the translated version only? The physical place of printing the book doesn't matter? Can a 'joint' venture with a foreign publisher remedy the issue of being able to sell it in that country?

From what I understand, ISBN is released by your national agency. So if you are a publisher in Brazil, it is released by Brazil, regardless of the language. If you sell and ship your books across the world, they retain your ISBN number. But if you are a large publishing house with different administrative branches in different countries, then each of them might have their own ISBN.
