Hi everyone,
here is my problem : I read a Fanfiction a long time ago and loved it, I read it again a month or so ago but the thing is that the fanfic is in French. I am French so the language is not a problem for me per se, but I really prefer reading fics in English.
I tried to pm the author to ask them if they would be okay with me translating their fic but it has been a month and I still haven't received an answer.
So my actual question is: can I just translate the fic and cite/attach the original one or do I need the consent of the original writer?
Thank you for your help!
