Lois McMaster Bujold:
Hello! I like your Vorkosigan Saga stories very much. But did not find any Ukrainian translations of them. Do you have any official Ukrainian translations? And if you do not have any yet, than are you OK if I 'll translate the "Shards of Honor" for the beginning? Thanks! Best Regards, Eugene Bitukov.

No, I don't have any Ukrainian translations.
The rights to do translations have to be licensed by the publishing company that plans to bring the book/s out, and they usually hire their own translators. (Naturally, since a publisher will be investing considerable up-front resources in this task, which they hope to make back by sales, they expect their license to be exclusive.)
So, alas, probably not OK unless you represent and are speaking for a publisher, in which case you/they should contact my agent. Sorry!
