Olivier, The ASF cannot grant open ended authorization for the trademarks. However, as long as a) the Cordova PMC are comfortable with the proposed use and b) it confirmed with the ASF trademark policy then there should be no problem with this.
So, for example, approval to use the Cordova logo in case study should be fine. Reuse of the logo when presenting that case study should be fine (again, assuming conformance with the ASF trademark policy).

Therefore, the only requirements will be, as per our email exchange with Lisa: - Attribution to the Microsoft Translator brand as per the description on www.microsoft.com/Translator in the "Attribution" menu - Apache Cordova team will provide Microsoft with the authorization to use their logo as well as short text/sentence from their choosing that we will be able to use for our marketing: website, customer presentations, etc. Are we OK with this?

"Are we sure that we can use the machine translation from an IP perspective? " Yes, I spoke to Olivier Fontana (added to the CC list) who is the Director of Product Strategy and Marketing, Machine Translation group, at Microsoft Research about whether or not there were any licensing concerns with the output of the documentation that went through the Machine Translation tool and he said there was not an issue and that we would still "own the content" as long as we didn't take the result to build our own language model that might be used as a competitor to Microsoft's machine translation service... which we do not intend to do.

When we are nearly 100% translated we utilize some machine translation within the crowdin tool to finish off the translations. Currently we are using the free level within Microsoft Translator service which includes 2 Million characters a month. As we add support for additional languages and provide translations across the multiple platforms and plugins we quickly hit that 2 million character limit. I have spoken with the Microsoft Translator team and they have graciously agreed to support our project by providing us with the 64M character level a month at no cost. In return, they ask that we acknowledge the use of Microsoft Translator for our translations. *I'm writing to see if anyone sees any reason why this* -- Sent from MetroMail
