: Re: Translation&Publishing: which situation do I need to inform the author, or don't? I read some English poems on the books or websites, and like to translate some poems from English to Chinese.

A translation is a derivative work. Merely informing the author is not enough.

If you want to publish a derivative work, you must secure the right to do so from the copyright holder (who may be someone other than the author).

See The Copyright Handbook from NOLO Press.
