Right.  Then I understand your argument.  But I fail to understand how
you conclude that the translator did not put his derived work under
GPL.

I on the other hand believe that the translator here implicitly put
this derived work under GPL, because not doing it would be in
violation of the GPL.  I believe assuming people follow the law and
the license is a better assumtion to make than to assume that they
break the law and the license.  I guess this is based on my trust in
other people to try to do what is legal and right.  Why do you believe
the translator in this case is not following the law and the license,
and thus do not believe the translator put his derivative work under
GPL?
