[cc-community] CC Licenses and translation rights

So by using ND condition I'm not allowing anybody anywhere (I mean, my
condition applies internationally) to translate my work without my
permission?

There are two more cases I can think of, given translation is a derivative
work:
1st. Case: I want to allow any derivative works but translation. Translators
must ask my permission.
2nd. Case: I want to allow any derivative works including translation.
However, I'm not allowing translation of the title.
Or I'm allowing transliteration only (one line placed below the title), but
not translation. Why doing this? Style reasons...
Now I think this can get wider: authors should be able to "restrict" any
limited piece of text, be it the title, one paragraph, some or every quotes,
some or every dialogs, whatever, again for his own style reasons.

What do you think?
