    Hello Dear,

    If I have a website in different languages. I am using same content in all version just changing language.

    Please let me know. Google would take it duplication of content or unique content in different language??

    It will count as unique content.
    Though I hope you're hand-writing the translations! Because having machine-translated content will not get you far.

    I don't think that translation will be considered as duplicate

    translation won't be considered as dupe, so yes you can use that content in different languages. By the way I've got some websites with dupe content and they are couple of years old and Google didn't penalize them for having dupe content. So dupe content=myth and nothing more. Test it yourself. I did and that's my result.

    Thanks to all... I was also thinking Google would not take it duplicate as Google match words with same language not with different languages.

    I think No, but if you again and again gives that link than otherwise no problem will occur.

    Translated text is definitely NOT considered duplicate content, even if there is other data on the page are the same.

    I'm wondering the same thing, but I thought it is quite unlikely.
    But, if I'll try to not use translating tools, like Google translater, when it comes to the issue of translating content for websites in another language.
    Even the search engines will not translated content as duplicated content, if you rely on the use of translation tools only, you are risking using the same content with other webmasters who are using the same translating software for the same content.
    So, I'll try to rewrite the content and explain it in my own way in another language.

    No if it is well translated then google can not understand it as duplicate.

    You're wrong, translated content is not considered duplicate content.

    Google will treat translated content as unique one if machine translated or manually translated. But coming to SEO part it all depends on how you target keywords for both the languages.
