    I don't think so.
    I think it's legitimate to have translated articles in different pages.

    If you translate those articles it's not duplicate content.

    tell me friends,
    is it worth translating articles to other languages.
    because i think almost everybody looks for english version of article only.

    I am not an expert but the more content you have, the better it is for seo. And you may also know where your traffic is coming from.

    Of course not. Search engine bots are not smart enough to read articles and translate them into different languages and do the compare.

    translating articles is of course a good way of getting international visitors but does anybody know a logical translation tool ? It would be great if there was a tool to create constant pages with translated articles. I don't mean babelfish or anything like that but they can be useful, too.

    I know first hand that translating your web pages can be a very lucrative method of increasing your market share and your profits. We offer translation services into 14 languages and we've had a lot of website owners having their websites translated into at as much as 6 languages at a time. The KEI on non-english language websites is still a lot greater than english sites as there is no where near as many websites in non-english languages.

    If anyone is interested in our translation services - feel free to shoot me a PM. :)

    it's not duplicate coz google can not know and cannot translate to compare the meaning.

    if your visitor are not only english speaking people, of course it worth it. (english is not the only language in the world XD and it's also not the language that people use the most XD)
