Google translations and copyright
<p>I want to translate Turkish sentences through Google Translate for the purpose of using it in a work. Is this subject to copyright?</p>

<p>The "creativity" that goes into a Google translation is the program itself, which is protected by copyright. GT just provides an automated mapping from one language to another, and is legally equivalent to printing a Word document (the printed copy doesn't gain its own copyright). </p>

<p>The original that you feed in might be protected, however. If so, so is the translation.</p>
