Unfortunately, I cannot grant this request because we do not permit partial translation and distribution of IBM copyright intellectual property.

However, I am in discussion with IBM Japan regarding broader translation and distribution needs for IBM Redbooks and I expect that arrangements that will benefit the Japanese professional IT community will result. 

Again thank you for your interest in making this important book more accessible in Japan and for your commitment to your professional peers.

kakefudaさん、あなたの個人的なサイトに、IBM RedBook'Who Knew You Could Do That with RPG IV? A Sorcerer's Guide to SystemAccess and More , SG24-5402-00'.の日本語部分翻訳の許可依頼をありがとうございます。

あいにく、IBMの著作権のある知的財産の部分的な翻訳や配布を許可していませんので、このリクエストを認めることはできません。

しかしながら、IBM Redbooksに対するより広く、翻訳や配布するの必要性に関して、日本IBMと討議をしています。そして、日本のプロフェッショナルのIT団体に利益をもたらす手配に結果としてなると思います。（直訳です。意味分かりますよね。）

再度、この重要な本が、日本に於いて、より手に入れやすくする事に興味を持っていただき、そして、プロの同業者への献身（という意味だろうと思う）を、ありがとうございます。

My name is Tadashi Kakefuda, a Japanese programmer of the AS/400. In Japan,we still use OPM (RPG400) mostly, so I want to illuminate ourselves by introducing a red book 'Who Knew You Could Do That with RPG IV? A Sorcerer's Guide to System Access and More , SG24-5402-00'.I mean that I want to translate it into Japanese.I can't afford to translate all of the contents, so partially I will do. And I don't mean that I sell it nor I use it for any profit purpose. Just I put it on my non-profit site for other programmers. Now I plan to translate chapter2, chapter3, and chapter 4. I guess there is a copyright problem. Can I do that? I'm sorry to trouble you, I know this kind of problem is difficult to solve. Would you give me an advice?

T.I.A.

Best regards.

Tadashi
