Translating articles: bad idea?

I had the idea of automatically translating (high quality) articles from one of my authority sites to a foreign language (not google translate).
Then have someone correct obvious grammatical mistakes and optimize keywords if neccessary.

I'd like to publish these articles on a new domain / blog at a rate of maybe 5 articles / week.
As the original articles are well researched and highly SEO optimized it would save me a lot of time.

Anyone thinks the new site could rank and is there (even a remote) possibility that google might penalize the original authority site?
 
If you doing it manually, then it is a good idea :target:

Sure it'd rank. And there's a remote possibility that Google might penalize the original authority site. However, to me it's worth the risk.

Type them in their native language or hire a professional translator because those automatic translators suck.

A professional translator will use the automatic tool and than fix it... If you know the language do it yourself if you don't than maybe you won't have another option but to hire someone.
 
Bing translator works better than reverso, just finish the job by edit manually.
 
Hi,

I'm translating content from english to portuguese to feed my private blog network. I see those posts ranking well for very long terms... So I think that is okay. Google cannot take your translated content.
