And some of those resources are really famous, but only available in the english language. Being French, I often hear a lot of frustration from people that cannot read english properly.
I was wondering how legal it would be to actually translate some of those websites, cite the source each time and try to get some traffic going.
(Whether anyone would do anything about it is of course another question)
IANAL: The most moral thing to do is obviously just ask the authors if it's okay to translate the work and link back to them. I really doubt most of them would have any problems with that.
Most likely you'd simply be asked to take down any material if a copyright owner didn't like it before you got into any legal troubles.
Has there ever been a case in history of someone getting sued over translating something?
