Can I create app for Google Play Market as an e-book that will contain my translation? Can I make it paid? Should I add some special notices to the doc? If you're interested in it, I can send you my translation. When the translation will be completed I would be happy to see it as existing official Japan and French manuals.

The manuals are BSD-licensed, just like the source code is. You can do anything you want with it; selling a translation is certainly an option and has been done before. I don't think you are required to add notices (but you're free to do so if you wish).

We've had others who've actually paid us a royalty on their sales, but that's been purely voluntary. Note that as long as it's paid for its not going to get linked from the pg websites of course. > > If you're interested in it, I can send you my translation. > > When the translation will be completed I would be happy to see it as > > existing official Japan and French manuals. > > That sounds great. > +1,that would be excellent. /Magnus ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 5+ messages in thread

Yes, I will make the pdf from the docbook, just adding myself as a translator (in section "othercredit").
