I want to know if you have a site with good content and somebody copy your content and translated in spanish or in Chinese, That is Duplicate content being the same content in different language. Does google recognize it?
As Google relies on Text by determining the site's content, i think G will still know the text even this text is on other languages( it is still text) i think g in not an i....t not to know that...
No, Google definatly doesn´t know. For more duplicate content questions go here: http://www.seoking.eu/seo-search-engine/
From Official Google Webmaster Blog " our algorithms won't view the same article written in English and Spanish as duplicate content. " You can read more here about the official statement of google on duplicate content issue: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2006/12/deftly-dealing-with-duplicate-content.html
I think your right. There is no way they could catch that. Translation from one language to another isn't simple and there isn't a quick way for the spider to quickly compare items in different languages.
there is no way they would recognize that. I mean Googles translation would have to be identicle to the translation that you have I would think.
It's hard for google to detect the duplicate posts in different language. But if there is someone that will report it to google, Google will take action about it immediately.
