Re: Ada & Zangemann book in Korean

Hello Kihyun, and hello to all,

  Good news and about point 3 in my opinion you can freely choose the names
of characters: the licence is CC BY-SA 4.0, not CC BY-ND-SA 4.0, so you can
change something.
   In my experience as a translator there are two stages: translation and
adaptation of the text. The first is a simple translation, but the second
is more important and involves the culture of your country. For example, if
you find some idiomatic phrases that are difficult to understand in your
language and culture, it is good to change them.
  Balloons (in comic strips) are another example: a few years ago I adapted
a translation and changed it profoundly according to the balloons.

Thank you and bye,
Giacomo Alessandroni
