Re: translating patterns

As long as you bought the pattern legally, did not keep a copy for yourself,
and in the translation gave credit to the designer, you should NOT be
violating any copyrights.You're not changing the material, per se, just the
instrument. As long as you give full credit, don't change any of the actual
meanings, etc, you should be MORE than fine. :)

I want to give a small homemade quilting kit to a relative. She in
Denmark, and doesn't understand much English.

If I bought a pattern (like one of those single patterns in a bag),
translated the writing, and gave her both the pattern and the
translation, am I in general breaking copyright rules?

I'm thinking I probably am, but no-one lost out, since she won't use
both copies.

I'm also thinking of writing something simple up myself (she is a fairly
new quilter), or finding something online. If I find something online, I
would obviously ask for permission before giving a translated version,
and give full credit.


I just would like to give fabric (it is on her wish-list) in a ready to
go package, since access where she lives is not so good.

What do you think?
