Does anyone know what the rules are with regard to copyright and
translations? Does anyone know where I can find out?
For example: if I translate a published piece into another language and
quote the source and don't use the photos can I use the translation? Not
for resale or profit, but just to inform others who are not able to read
the original language?

A great big "it depends". A translation of a literary work is itself
copyright, since the translation involves creative choices--different
translations can be very different.
Translations of other things will depend on what is being translated and
how it is being translated.

Don't translators have to get permission in order to translate, though?
