  QUERY ON COPYRIGHTS AND TRANSLATED TEXTS
  

  Alan Luedeking writes: "It is my understanding that a translated text
  is a derivative work, and as such is subject to the original work's
  copyright. Translations in general are subject to copyright, the exception
  being the same as that for original works, namely that a translation made
  by an author who died more than 70 years ago will generally be in the
  public domain. But what are the modern translator's copyright rights for
  a recent translation of a work already in the public domain whose original
  author has died over 70 years ago? Any feedback would be much appreciated."
