Ueber den Büchernachdruck

"No, no, it is too obvious that the concept of intellectual property is useless. My property is exclusively mine; I must be able to dispose of it and retrieve it unconditionally. Let someone explain to me how that is possible with ideas. Just let someone try taking back the ideas he has originated once they have been communicated so that they are, as before, nowhere to be found. All the money in the world could not make that possible."

-Christian Sigmund Krause, 1783-

TRANSLATION AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Translations are copyrighted works, be they translations of works in literary, artistic or scientific domain (Article 8 of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works of 9 September 1886 - Paris Act of 24 July 1971 as amended on 28 September 1979; and Article 29.1(j) of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 19/2002 on Copyrights).

QUOTED FROM CREDENCE WEBPAGES:

The works of translation services providers depend absolutely upon the competency of the lead translator(s). Due to its very nature, the quality of translation works depends upon the languages competency of the translator(s). However, it is not just a matter of languages translation or interpretation, but it is a matter of what is going to be translated or interpreted. Neither is it a matter of languages proficiency only, but a matter of the nature of the objects of translation works.

When the objects of translation are of legal nature, only jurists (practising jurists, legal scholars or those with law educational backgrounds) qualified to practise as linguists may claim as having the requisite competency.

Under Indonesian law, legal linguists/sworn translators' involvement is mandatory when:

Documents to be submitted to the courts as evidences are written in foreign languages (see inter alia Article 57 of Law No. 5/1986 concerning State-Administrative Courts, Articles 141 and 269 of Law No. 31/1997 concerning Military Courts);
Collective-Labour Agreements to be submitted to the Ministry of Manpower are written in foreign languages (Article 116.4 of Law No. 13/2003 concerning Manpower);
Authentic/Notarial Deeds that are drawn up in foreign languages (Articles 43 and 44 of Law No. 30/2004 concerning Notarial Authority); and
Compulsory Licence granted by the Government under the Appendix of the Berne Convention (Paris Act) of 1971, initially signed in 1886, and Article 16 of Law No. 19/2002 concerning Copyrights for the translation of copyrighetd foreign-language law books.
