<div class="IPBDescription">What about translations ?</div> Hello,
I've a question about copyrights, I've read the F.A.Q., especially this point :
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Can I use the NS textures, technology, game world, concept art or anything else for any purpose other then Natural Selection?</b>
No. The team has worked very hard to create the NS universe. Please don't e-mail or post asking to use our textures, models or technology for other projects. You can, however, use any artwork from NS for an NS fansite, or NS community resource. You may never use anything from NS to make money, nor may you ever state or imply that any NS assets were made by anyone other then the NS team. If in doubt, e-mail flayra@overmind.org before using anything. Any inappropriate use of any NS content will be pursued aggressively. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And there's this in the manual : "No part of this manual or design (including all art and content) may be used for any publishing or professional use without express consent of the authors. "
I'm from Belgium, so I speak french. I play Natural Selection since the beginning and I really enjoy it. And I've seen the french community growing up quickly (and there's new french players every day). Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of -french- documentation... And it's very hard for "newbies" to get in with the game. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
I've thought about an (objective) translation of some "official" stuff, like the manual, or the "Frontiersmen documentation" from the site, or ... but what about copyright ? Can I do that ? (With a link to the original, the authors' name will be the same, just add a paragraph (separately) about the translation)
I've send flayra an email two weeks ago, but I didn't receive any response, but I know his mailbox is overloaded and I'm fearing that I didn't express myself very correctly. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
(And if I email him again I'll feel like a spammer. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> )
Perhaps someone on this forum can answer me ?
Thanks. (I hope it was the correct place to post this)
