Hi guys,
I'm hoping the GPWA community can help me out with a translation question that I have.
I'm planning to build to very similar websites on the same topic, one in English and one in my native languages. Naturally, there will be a lot of overlapping content. Thus, I thought it would be a good idea to have content written in English and publish it on the English website, then translate the content and publish the same content on the other site, rather that writing an entirely new article on the same topic for the native language website.
I just interested in how this can affect
SEO? Would the search engines be able to identify that these are "the same" articles in different language? If so, could that potentially harm both sites?
From an ethical standpoint I would never consider translating content from other websites, but given that both sites are mine, with my content, I figured it would be a cost effective thing to do.
Do you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
