Hi, everybody !

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm impressed by the interest of the anglosaxon community with the IE modding, and I'm also impressed by the numerous tutorials that are referenced here and on other forums.

I'm an admin from the "Légendes" French community, specialized in IE modding, and I'd like to have the possibility to translate some of this material to make it available for the French modders that are not comfortable enough with English to work with the English tutorials.

I assume that you have some copyright on the content referenced on your forums, and I'd like to know from where I have to get the authorization to translate them : from the administration of the forums, from the writers of the tutorials ?

Thanks a lot for reading this message and for your future answers.

My understanding was that SHS merely has hosting rights and all copyrights reside with the authors, so you should ask them directly.

Generally you'll be all right if you post the links to your translations in the original threads and link to the originals in your translations.

(Man, what am I doing at SHS forums at 2.30 in the morning?)

[Kaeloree]

Contacting the individual authors is the best way to go; if you can't get permission, I'm sure it would be fine anyway--just make sure you mention that you'll take the translations down if the original author reappears and asks for them to be taken down.

You have my permission to translate any of my existing or future tutorials--just make sure to link back to the source, and link to the translation in the original topic.

Thanks for the answers and thanks a lot for your authorization, K'aeloree.

I've just translated your tuto on CD_STATE_NOTVALID.

Well, I guess I'll have start sending some more pm then.

You needn't PM me: as long as you say it's a tutorial by Kulyok and link to the original thread(and also post in the original thread with a link for French users), it's really all right.

(I'd rather you linked to the originals here on PPG, because I don't visit SHS every day, but no matter - it's your choice).

[SConrad]

Feel free to translate any of my tutorials as well, as long as credit is given and it contains a link to the original thread here on SHS.

[phoeunix]

Thank you, SConrad and Kulyok, that's very nice of you.

I'll keep your recommandation in mind about the links to PPG.
