In our trademark policy the only reference to translation is in the
context of the software itself (so e.g. a German translation of
Inkscape's UI can still be described as Inkscape™.
https://inkscape.org/en/about/trademark-policy/
The policy specifies that the slogan is trademarked, but does not
address whether translations of the trademark would be covered too. My
non-lawyerly guess would be that they are not. Fortunately, we do have
a way to ask for clarification from the more lawyerly types - email to
trademark@...3281....
It does not specifically appear we are *prohibited* from translating the
slogan (which would be silly). But just that (I guess) it wouldn't be
protected as a trademark. I suspect that if we feel that is important,
we could look into registering it in other countries/languages. I'd
suspect there'd be some fee involved.
