Frequently asked questions
Here are some sample questions we are frequently asked by language resource owners
Are translations protected by copyright? If so, who holds the copyright? How about machine translation?

We cannot just share our data with you – they are confidential!
Provision of data: How? Why? What are our data used for?
In some countries (e.g. in Germany), official documents are expressly excluded from copyright. Does this mean that they can be considered public domain also in countries that do not have such a limitation (e.g. in the UK)?
Managing and harvesting language data - why and how?
Machine translation will never work for our languages (e.g. Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian and other morphologically rich languages).
