Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Daniel Carrera <dcarrera AT math.umd.edu>]

Greetings,

I wonder if the CC licenses are compatible accross different languages.

For example, can I take something in the English BY license:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/

And release it under the French BY license? :

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/fr/deed.fr

And from here I could hope over to French BY-SA :

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/fr/deed.fr

Is that right?

I figure it must be. Otherwise the exercise of multiple language licenses 
would seem kind of pointless. But I would like to ask. There is someone who 
is interested in taking the user guide we're writing (under English BY), 
translate it to French, and release it under French BY-SA.

Thank you for your help.

Cheers,
