I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikisource, the library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username if you're logged in (or IP address if you are not) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question.

Again, welcome! --EncycloPetey (talk) 14:54, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Licensing

A translation needs a license for the original, as well as a license for the English translation (based on the date of publication of the translation, and the date of death of the translator). See Eclogues of Virgil (1908) for one example. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:00, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

If I am judging correctly from the Commons link you added, this is your own translation, and not a published translation. Is this correct? If so, the work should be moved to Translation:Motherly Education, since it is a user-created translation. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:03, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Yes, you are correct, it is my own translation, I already moved it. Polmas (talk) 15:09, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Next question: Is the Catalan text published on the Catalan Wikisource, with a backing scan? For original translations hosted here, it is required that the original text be present in the original language at that Wikisource, so that we can link to it. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:29, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

No, this is not available at the moment. Polmas (talk) 16:01, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
