Re: Ada & Zangemann book in Korean

Hello Kihyun,

I'm Nico, currently the volunteer maintainer for the book automation. I
hope Matthias will reply into this discussion as the writer of the
story.


There is already a recommendation about the names in the translation
guidelines:
https://git.fsfe.org/FSFE/ada-zangemann/src/branch/main/Translation-Guidelines.md

These guidelines are important to guarantee a consistent experience
across languages. I agree with the legal analysis by Giacomo that you
are free to change it to your liking according to CC BY-SA 4.0.
However, if you choose to ignore these guidelines, FSFE might choose
not to support it. But given your request, I assume you looking for
such guidance and feedback, so I don't see any issues.

So I think changing the name Konrad to something else would work. I'm
persionally curious who.


About the hair color: my main concern from a project management
perspective is that this will create more variants. Besides the book,
there is already the presentation, and a video is in the works. It
might require more effort to have these other formats match the black
hair color.

You are more qualified then me to decide on the importance of local
representation with black hair compared to the importance of
consistency of images across formats and languages.


If you need help with the automation regarding the translation and to
produce the book, I'll try to support you as best as possible. I'd be
happy to receive the source files used for the final book in order to
embed them into the automation repository.

Thank you for taking this initiative!

Best,
Nico
