Duplicate content related.. SEO experts view please.

I have 3 different websites and each targeting 3 countries, such as .fr, .de , .com.

I am thinking of posting contents from English site to other 2 sites. Contents will be translated straight from English to French and German (will be translated manually).

Where does duplication issue come to this? When it comes to duplicate contents.

Thanks

 

No , no problem in that situation. Don't worry you can carry on your work.

 

Normally, my view is that duplicate content will be penalized in some form or another.

However, since the content is translated from one language to another, I think this added additional benefit not found on any other site, and should therefore be fine.

 

This is fine, i've just completed the same type of setup. and its all good!

 

Many thanks for the replies, this answered my question.

 

Nothing wrong with it... in fact it's not duplicate content as it's written in different languages.
As there're many international websites and many of them do the same thing. Check UEFA .com for instance.
