Will Google see translated articles as duplicated?

no! even if you rewrite an article in your own words google wont bother by it. Just make sure it pass the copy scape test

Dunno if Google penalises for using articles translated from one language into another but I'm certain you won't experience any difficulty ranking with that type of content.

If the translated pages are on the same site IT IS DUPLICATE CONTENT.
The way around is to simply provide a translation plugin/widget for those pages instead of translating them and putting them on the same site.

Much Luck To You!

Jenny colleague did not engage in this nonsense. better to write quality articles uniqueness which will be 100% and then the search engines will respect and love your site and do his will gradually withdraw to the top.

you should make quality and unique content for article .I don't think so language does matter for this.

The words are different which makes the article 100% unique.

Like others said, for now you don't have any problem until Google thinks so.

Google wont consider translated content as duplicate content.

You should convert the same article in your own language and check it in copy scape tool for duplicate content after that you post it. Google doesn't consider your content as duplicate.

Translated content is not duplicate content as it will change the article into new one by using some other different words.Translated article should be tested in a plagiarism tool so that you can check your content uniqueness. Your content should be 100% unique.

Use content duplication tools. Like copyscape or duplichecker (Free). If they'll pass the content you can use it any where. But follow content guidelines for better seo.

I think it is no problem at all because different languages are indeed for different audiences. Users benefit from it, so I see no reason why it should be bad in any way.

Sure, better make quality translation (correct grammar, no auto-translate crap) and put the right language Tag into your HTML for all such pages: HTML ISO Language Code Reference

As of my experience this way is still genuine and perfectly fine.

my website which was about science experiments was also blocked by Google because i used translated my article and again published it so it doesn't look like duplicate article.

@abdulwahabmalik:

Did you use auto-translator or natural human made translation and did you put language tag correctly? Also a proper URL structure could be beneficial to make it a solid work. I am wondering, cause when done right I could never see any problem at all.

In the same website, Google will not penalize your website having translated content. If you are having your website in many languages, you have to mention Google language code. If you will copy the english content and will use after translation in any other external website, you can be penalized by Google.

I am not overly competent in this question, but am guilty of having had sites that were only partially translated ... and on a missing translation, the original text was shown to avoid broken links or empty pages. So yes, that was certainly duplicate content in a translation context.

No! Not a problem you can rewrite the article but don't copy from other websites, you need to change every word. Google will check only whether the article is copy or not.

Jenny,

I don't think Google penalizes sites for having exact copies of its content in other sites. Why? Well, mainly because -- If this were true, then your competitors can copy your newly published content and post it in their sites that are indexed much faster by Google than your site, so as to penalize your site; and

I think Google just ranks these exact copies using their same ranking parameters, which may also be the reason why you see a news article in a prominent news site with a household brand ranking higher for relevant keywords than the exact copy in a new, lesser known blog, though Google may be trying to correct this (through Panda and their recent updates) by ranking the original source of the content higher than syndicated copies. Also:

Google said they frown down on sites that just syndicate exact copies of content from other sites, instead of producing more of their own content; and

I think Google doesn't want you to post exact copies of your content under one domain, though -- Google said you don't need to worry about say a printer friendly version of your content in one page and another exact copy in another page under the same domain. With this:

I don't think you'd have to worry about Google penalizing your site for having translated versions of your content (even machine-translated versions, but machine-translated versions could affect human readability, so better to go with manually translated versions) under the same domain. However:

You could get better SEO mileage if you host manually translated versions of your content under country-specific domains that correspond to the languages of your translated content...

Does Google penalizes you for re writing a few paragraphs of our competitors website in my own words?
