Do I need to ask the permission of the authors of foreign articles to translate?
On Habré, translated articles are very common. Actually the question is: Do I need to get permission from the authors of articles published in a foreign language (for example, on Medium or personal blogs) for translation and placement in the Russian-speaking sector?

Article 1260. Translations, other derivative works. Composite Works
[Civil Code of the Russian Federation] [Chapter 70] [Article 1260]
3. The translator, compiler or other author of a derivative or composite work shall exercise his copyright subject to the rights of the authors of the works used to create the derivative or composite work.
1. The translator, as well as the author of another derivative work (arrangement, film adaptation, arrangement, staging or other similar work) owns the copyrights, respectively, for the translation and other adaptation of another (original) work.
As far as I understand, you do not need to ask for permission to translate, but, for example, to publicly publish a translated article, yes.
