- By default an adaptation in a new language is linked to the root work
- Except if the subject of the lyrics are very close to another adaptation, and remarkably different from the root work.
- Example: A mi manera by Augusto Algueró [Jr.] is an adaptation of the Paul Anka adaptation My Way , as it's about leading your life the way you want (=Paul Anka lyrics), and not about a couple that is falling apart (=Claude François lyrics).
- When the editor choses to link the adaptation and not the root work, an explanatory comment is required in the editor notes.
- When in doubt: Make it an adaptation of the root work.
- Don't use the presence of the "first" lyrics-adaptor in the credits as a decision criterion.
