Translations
Translated lyrics create a derivative work whose copyright belongs to the original publisher — translators are typically engaged on a work-for-hire basis.
01
Original publisher must approve the translation.
02
Translator's share is negotiated, often 10–25% of the writer share.
03
Sub-publishers in foreign territories often handle this directly.
