QUERY ON COPYRIGHTS AND TRANSLATED TEXTS

Alan Luedeking writes: "It is my understanding that a translated text
is a derivative work, and as such is subject to the original work's
copyright. Translations in general are subject to copyright, the exception
being the same as that for original works, namely that a translation made
by an author who died more than 70 years ago will generally be in the
public domain. But what are the modern translator's copyright rights for
a recent translation of a work already in the public domain whose original
author has died over 70 years ago? Any feedback would be much appreciated."
