Do Google rank websites with translated contents?

[Dark Venge]

I have a site totally translated from English to Italian and rank in first page for 10 keywords

Great to hear. Both I need to know if a site translated from other sites to English can rank on Google.

I've got a few websites built on transalotors and they're doing quite well on difficult keywords.

As long as they unique content. And readers can enjoy it. You will be fine.

 

[Jefferychinedu]

I'm curious. Update us if they're indexed or not.

They are indexed.

It depends on how you translated the content. if it is purely machine translated it is difficult to rank because Google is more friendly for handwritten articles. if it is possible to do the manual translation try with that.

Whats the name of plugin can auto translate content in wordpress? Are you using Google, Bing,Yandex or Baidu translate?

Is there any way for Google to detect machine translation that was properly edited

No, di you people have any idea how much computing power it would cost to translate the internet in all languages to just English and check if the content is used (not even mentioning the other way around)?

You know how much money that would cost to find those view sites that make use of it, Google doesn't even give a shit about regular content (Source: the SERPS) they would care that much for good translated content? 0_o

When did logical thinking stop to be a key asset in SEO?

 

[Shaphat]

Probably No. Because content quality is less than own writing content.

 

[karabas]

If it hight quality and unique content, why not?

Done it before?

 

[royserpa]

Difficult to rank in English. Had 3 expired domains, translated almost 15k articles from Norwegian to English, dumped them to those domains (5k each), they got indexed but not ranked. English google is difficult to cheat. Go for German, French or Spanish.

I read your journey thread. After 3 years, what happened to the sites? Did they rank? Got deindexed?

 

[OlafRustle]

Yes they do rank and yes I have tested it multiple times.

 

[justinmidlet]

yes but they will have lower page authority

 

[javadth]

its all depends to edits, if you can edit content and make it readable to readers it will rank

 

[OVM]

it will works and you could rank higher then original source if you have enough traffic and back links.

 

[fabi113]

It works but it depends on the quallity. You should not only translate and upload it. Try to write it different and get some value. There is more than just copying for getting good ranks.

 

[karabas]

Done it before?

Yes, but before and only for doorway.
Now I have own copywriters

 

[Digirulz]

Yes it works, it's good you edited it to make it readable to users and avoid machine translation. It makes content but not quality one.

 

[Elvlin]

Yes if your translated has a good content quality
