Do I need to negotiate with the author about the translation of his article into English?

Question

Habr

Or is translation generally only his privilege?
It means that the translation will also be on Habré.
And apparently, it will not work to do this by replacing "ru" with "en", it does not come out beautifully.

Answer 1

If there is an international agreement on the protection of copyright in the territory of the Russian Federation of citizens of the country whose citizen is the owner of the copyright to the original, and the translator did not agree with the publication, then the translator may be charged with copyright infringement . This is evidenced by Article 1270 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation "Exclusive right to a work":

2. The use of a work, regardless of whether the relevant actions are performed for the purpose of deriving profit or without such a purpose, shall be considered, in particular:
9) translation or other processing of the work.

You make the decision to break the law or not to break it.
