    If i take an article and translate it on Google to a different language, would the content be duplicate?

    Do you think google translates all the websites in the world to check duplicate content?

    i don't think that they will trace duplicate contents up to that level!

    I think it is okay for you to translate content to another language.:D

    I think that is ok, no need to worry about duplicate content.

    It will be indexed and then de-indexed after a few days ;)
    So it's still a duplicate content, apart from being a complete crap.

    I have translated some of the pages on my site, and now have gained traffic from those language speaking countries.
    I have not noticed any decrease in the traffic from English speaking countries. So I guess Google has not penalized me in any way.

    I used Babel Fish to translate the pages originally.
    I have also used Googles own translator to translate another page, and that page seems to get a lot more search traffic than the ones done with babel fish.. So at some stage I will re-translate all of my site using Google translate.

    Hope that helps.

    Cheers
    James
