Suppose I'm a local publisher. If I want to translate a book, print it and sell translated copies, how much should I propose to pay to the copyright holder? Is there some acceptable percentage of book price at Amazon to start with? Here is an example: Suppose there is a book called _How to Jump High_ which I would like to translate into Ukrainian. I expect to sell 1000 copies of this translation. I know that one can buy it for $100 on the Internet. How much should I propose to the copyright holder for such a license?
