Nice to hear about this project Open Literature, Shakespeare specifically. Allow me remind you that there are Complete Works of William Shakespeare you can freely download from http://www.gutenberg.org/.
We have Shakespeare works translated into Chinese as public domain according Copyright Law of Taiwan, If not complete works at least partial works. I am not sure those Chinese translation of Shakespeare works have public digital files or not. > Message: 6 > Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2011 11:03:32 +0200 > From: Jonathan Gray <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [okfn-discuss] Open Literature > To: Open Knowledge Foundation discussion list > <[email protected]> > Message-ID: > <canq_vu2a8dr+fid7whzjzvf8gvheeeqzv9j3wfqb_v6dq73...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Fantastic to hear James! > > On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 10:53 AM, James Harriman-Smith > <[email protected]> wrote: >> - Sourcing translations of Shakespeare to augment Open Shakespeare (is there >> a German equivalent of?http://gallica.bnf.fr/?for example?) >> Do let me know what you think of this, and if you have any more ideas, > > I'd love to hear more about how you get on sourcing public domain > translations of Shakespeare.
