Permission request from "Translation for education"

[vs...@gmail.com]

Hey there,

I am a student at the Department of Foreign Languages and at the same time  
a volunteer at an organization named “Translation for Education”. I love  
surfing on the Internet and being informed about the latest happenings  
around me. Unfortunately, most of my fellow citizens don’t know English, so  
that makes them feel somehow excluded from all this variety of useful info  
from the Internet.
That was the reason that made me decide to start being a volunteer at such  
an NGO. So I created a blog, where I post translations of some of the texts  
that really caught my attention. Sometimes it’s a simple description of  
some organization, and sometimes it might be a narrowly specialized  
scientific article.
Don’t you think that I do that without authors’ permission! I do ask them  
if they let me translate and then post the translation on my blog. And if  
they don’t, then they don’t.
So I am asking you about the same, actually. Could you provide me the  
permission to translate the article on page  
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/stable/hdfs_user_guide.html into , on  
condition that the translation is absolutely non-commercial and I will  
mention and credit you as the author of the article, and put the link to  
your source next to my translation too.

Hoping for your understanding and waiting for your answer!

Cheers,

I'm not a lawyer, but this sounds to me like a "derivative work" which you are free to create and distribute.

Hi Vseslava.

This part of the ASF FAQ explains everything in this regard I think

https://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html#Translation

In other words "Sure!" ;)
