Will I Get Banned For translating?

My question is simple. will i get banned for translating an article?

Theres a very good article I found in my local language, and I'd like to translate it. will Google ban me for this?

Another Question: Should I mention the source?

 

What makes you think Google will ban you for translating an article..

 

You should be just fine , but check there policy again just incase !

 

I don't know... I think because I've heard someone saying that they caught him for doing this. and I don't want to use the whole article. just half of it. I'd like more suggestions so I won't do something stupid.

 

you won't get ban even if you post the original article. google does not ban websites just for fun.

 

nah ! you wont get banned by google for translating an article.

 

Thank you for Your Quick Reply y'all

 

Another Question: Should I mention the source?

 

if the author of the original article do find out you have translated his article without prior notification, he/she may report it to google adsense and if he/she has strong proof that he own the article adsense may suspend your account though I have only heard of others saying it but have not experience it myself.

To play it safe, you may want to mention the origin of article

Do not translate an article without the author's permission. You may translate your own articles in as many languages as you like.

 

you wont get banned from google but you will get sued by original writer

 

If you're not going to contact the author, you should definitely mention the source. And even if you do contact the author, it's a good idea to mention the source anyways to give him some credit and stay out of legal trouble.

 

We do it all the time. Don't think we would get banned.

Plus it amuses me seeing Google Ads in French

 

You won't get banned but you should give backlink to original article ethically (It's my opinion.)

 

I don't think so that Google will ban you for translating an article. Go ahead do it.

 

it might suck for seo purposes but you wont get banned

 

offcourse u wont be banned

 

nope.. guess not. But you should ask the original writer for permission.

 

Check Goolgle TOS or send them an email, it's best that the reply will came from G itself

 

nah... I dont think they have any problems translating an article
