Comments
Thank you for your question. I will research and get back to you with a definitive answer when I can. |
I promised a "definitive answer" and I do not have one yet. However, let me add some additional thoughts:
|
Got it, thank you very much for the answer. |
Any updates for this? I'd really enjoy contributing for a pt-BR translation as i'm liking a bunch the content that is being produced. |
I don't have any updates on that as the contract stuff is still being worked out. But I will update here once I have an answer in any direction. :) |
OK, I finally have a more official answer from O'Reilly. The content is released here under a "CC-NC-ND" license, which means it cannot be used in a commercial way, nor can derivative works be made (unless otherwise excepted). A foreign translation is a "derivative work" and thus would not be allowed outright. However, I can grant specific permission for people to translate the material from this repo into a foreign language. I am willing to do so, on a case-by-case basis, provided the content is not changed, is not used commercially (for sale), and is given back to this public repo. So, please email me (getify on gmail) and we will work that out. :) On the other hand, if you'd like to make a commercial translation of the fully published work, you would contact O'Reilly and request to purchase the license to do so from them. Hope that clears everything up! :) |
@dandv thanks for linking this! That article from Jeff Atwood you referenced is great. I've actually changed my mind between the day i added that comment here and today 😃 |
@cirocosta: 👍 Good to see wisdom. See also my final sentence here :) |
Hi @getify, for me the idea is not clear. You want and could do access to this github repository, to do the translation? |
If you want to do a foreign language translation for free, do so by forking this repo, making all your changes publicly to that repo, then making a PR back here to this repo. |
Great! thanks for the answer. |
@dandv Sometimes there are facets very difficult cu comprehend, and the best thing to have at hand is some documentation in your own language. That is establishing a context for a quicker apprehension of some red hearing topics. I was bit by the bug of translating YDKJS in our own language... still contemplating. P.S. Baby steps is always best in your mother tongue. |
Salut Nicule, What facets if I may ask? This is software development, not German On Sat, Jan 30, 2016, 08:26 Nicolaie Constantinescu <

Salut, |
That is a very short-sighted point of view. I agree that every decent developer should learn an even code in English, but sometimes, there are developers that are struggling enough to learn the basics of something like JS (and don't know English) to add more to their burden, forcing them to study a language they don't know at the same time they are trying to study and learn a programming language. |
Perhaps they should focus on learning one thing at a time. |
