hi,
yes google has easily find your content if you have copy from other website,if google find this your SEO process simply waste

Try to avoid duplicate content on the website because it could negatively affect the positioning in SERP. Copyscape is a free plagiarism checker that can be used for free.

There are thousands of webpages for a particular content, and there is a duplication present for the same content, also there are chances of getting hit by the google updates if you have lots of pages duplicated from another websites.Otherwise if there is a minor copied content then it is not a problem.If we talk about translating and putting it, then we must accept that google spiders are very intelligent in judging the copied content whether it is in two different languages.

I seriously doubt that a page translated from one language to another by a human and not google translate or other translation service would be picked up by the spider as duplicate content. My experience of google translate is it is very poor.

[corruptsnake]

Yes, There are most probable chances that Google will read your duplicate content. The most preferred will be not to use duplicate content.

[gws]

@coruptsnake what do you base this on? I base my statement on maintaining 3 web sites with identical content English / French for 7 years (stopped last year and amalgamated into 1 site,English only now) with no problem whatsoever, all did well in google.

@gws - Seems you were lucky that Google didn't find it out. In my knowledge Google is smart enough to understand the translations of an English article. Google translator is one of the best tools everybody uses to read foreign language articles by translating and I believe Google use the same feature in their algorithm to detect copied content from other languages.

[gws]

@christo32g, thats my point,google uses it translator tool and it is not very good,better than nothing but that is all. If the text is translated properly by a human it will bear very little comparison to googles spyders translation and will be different content. If you have to rely on google translate then you are maybe creating duplicate content,but that is far from clear.

[christo32g]

@gws You are right, now Google is not as smart as a human translator. Though Google translators can't translate as accurate as a human right now, it doesn't mean they can't create a perfect translator in future and implement it in their spam detection algorithm .

Hey gws, I agreed with you. I think it became difficult for us to understand what google does, I mean what should a robot will treat for a content cos its all their techniques to catch spammers. We cant estimate any exact reason for their work.

Guys I think you're missing the point here. Even if Google was able to identify translated content, why would it penalize it? It's helping the internet to be more accessible to different language speaking users!

[jameshagan]

Yes,definitely,the google bot will find the source of the content from which website and which language it has been translated will also be found.

Yeah off course but if google will recognize the duplicate content then surely it will penalize cos the content is copied and is called as duplicate. That is the reason why there are soo many algorithms like penguin, panda, and many more.

Ok, listen it from Matt Cutts then: "The simply answer is not"

YES, google smart enough to realize content-copy.

For a multilingual website, it is okay to translate the content as Matt Cutt said. But, copying another website's content and just translating it, will get you in troubles. It is much better - and safer- to get 3 sources for that content, read them and write or rewrite in your own style. Perfect grammar and readability score should be considered too.

Thanks for sharing the video AndresNWD.

you can do that, but should be used only for PBN

[jaribhai]

Well if you are translating content from Google translator, then you can get caught easily.. But if you translated the content at your own, then you might save yourself from Google penalty.

[aegisinfosys]

Google is very smart to judge the duplicate content. So I recommend to create a unique content for your website so you can get better ranking in search result.

You can take ideas about content from other websites but please try to convert it in to your own way.

After crating content you can check your content for duplication in Copyscape Plagiarism Checker, duplicate content checker tool.

[gws]

Google does not penalise duplicate content,straight from the horses mouth (Google’s Andrey Lipattsev)! http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/duplicate-content-problems/

[Nimit_Suri]

Hello;

Google is always a step ahead.Duplicate content is a violation in google guidelines.No matter in what language you translate or write they are going to find it sooner or later about it.And frankly i don't see the point why should you use duplicate content.Why just copy paste if you can just create unique content may it be less but yes it will be original.

[Jetta1]

Unless you spin the content using alternate language and not a word-for-word translation, yeah google will detect that [censored].

[ssraj]

Google doesn't consider the same content translated into different languages as duplicate content since the same content in English that's translated into French is different, unlike the same content appearing twice in English.
If you used Google Translate to preform the translation, then the Googlebot would know that since auto-translation embeds various Meta tags, JavaScript, and CSS into the translated page, along with concatenating its translation URLs into all of the links so that the linked pages will also appear translated.

[semnaveen]

It is very simple to track the copied content from another website even it is translated content for Google. There is a simple trick that can work for this. Just translate the content and spin with a good spinner which is not detectable by Google. But make sure that you are proofreading the content after spinning because sometimes it changes the meaning of whole sentence.

[allielaine90]

Don't copy content from other website otherwise google may penalize.
