You can get content in a foreign language and translate it to English. Then post on your site. No duplicate content issues. Just issues with the law .
Translation might not considered as duplicate content. It still consider as original content due to the " words" used are totally different.
It's not considered duplicate content. Are you getting google translation link referrals? It could just be your visitors and not webmasters translating the content.
Translating a content into a foreign language and posting it on any site is not considered a duplicate content. No issues there.
