I do a lot of guest posting in English but i have just launched a German store and thought an easy way to get a lot of German guest posts would be to just replicate the content I've already written and get it all translated into German and reuse it all.

Would google recognise i did this? Would they care?

Any advice from anyone with any experience or testing on this would be much appreciated.

thanks gang!

2 years ago it definitely wasn't.

I think it's still the same.

Do one or two pages and see if they rank well.

It would be safer to put the translation on another domain

Paraphrase the whole content in English before you head to translate, in a way it makes sense. You could outsource this task to a VA and work on final German output. However, getting indexed isn't assured
