Where to put translated site (sub domain or new directory) for seo

    I am having a site of mine translated. It has quite a few backlinks and good serps which i don't want to lose.

    My question is, if I translate the site and put the translated version on a sub domain, will this inherit the backlinks from the main domain or not?

    Also, if i put the translated site in a new directory eg mysite.com/german, would this still take benefit form the backlinks which are all sent to the main index page?

    Any help appreciated.:)

    ok yeah think i will. Am i right in thinking that google looks at a sub-domain as a completely different site?
