If I translate a Tweet that has not been officially published online, such as a blog post, into English and then repost it, is it considered an copyright violation?

I found a good essay on someone else's blog and wanted to translate it into English and share it on other platforms (non-commercial use). Is this actually an act of copyright? It was shared and reposted without profit.

Answer 1

Translating an unpublished work into English and reprinting it without authorization may constitute an copyright violation. According to the Chinese law, without the permission of the copyright owner, using the work to provide the public with a copy of the work or services such as performance, screening, broadcasting, information network transmission, etc., or selling, purchasing, or using the copy of the work, performance, screening, broadcasting, information network transmission, etc., violates the property rights of the copyright owner.

In accordance with the provisions of the third paragraph of article 10 of the "copyright law", without the permission of the copyright owner, by using the work to provide copies of the work to the public or services such as performance, screening, broadcasting, information network transmission, etc., or by selling, purchasing, or using the copies of the work, performance, screening, broadcasting, information network transmission, etc., to violate the property rights of the copyright owner, the copyright owner shall bear the responsibility of stopping the violation and eliminating the impact according to the circumstances. Apologize, compensate for losses, and other civil responsibilities.

Therefore, if an unpublished work was translated into English and reprinted without authorization, it might violate the property rights of the copyright owner. In order to avoid any copyright violation, it is recommended to obtain the explicit permission of the copyright owner before reprinting or to avoid copying the work directly.
