Yup. Translating in another language is almost the same as covering it, because the melody keeps the same. And a song with copyright you can't cover, its against article 21 paragraph 4 of the copyright law of USA.
No, but a new work based on a PD song can be protected by copyright. A new translation, setting, arrangement, etc may be copyrightable. A common example would be the traditional Shaker song "Simple Gifts," which is in the public domain, and Aaron Copland's popular orchestral setting "Variations on a Shaker Melody," which is protected by copyright.
This depends. If an artist has made a unique melody and released it, then it is likely covered by copyrights one way or the other. One can not however claim copyright on a rythm or beat. Anything that is pretty common and not difficoult at all to reproduce is not commonly copyrighted. The chances are that the actual melody you want to use is free for people to use, but to be sure you should ask the performer if there are any royalties or copyrights regarding the particular melody. Regards.

This can only be done by the copyright owner or with the copyright owners written permission. Generally in most songs - there is a 4 bar melody of which the song is known. Anything in the song can be changed - or varied - except this 4 bar melody. So a specific song can have many different melodies and variations - all known by the original 4 bars of which the original song was known.

You cannot due to the fact that they are under copyright. Try a local library or a book store I am sure they have Melody Carlson books. I know for a fact that the True Colors series is very easy to find!!
Copyright means that the book or writing or song belongs to the copyright holder. Anyone using or posting the copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright holder can be held to pay for the unauthorized use of the material. George Harrison had to pay because My Sweet Lord had the same melody as She Is So Fine. Using copyrighted material can lead to fines, loss of a job, and dismissal from school.

A counter melody is a secondary or supplemental melody that is played simultaneously with the main melody.
