Translating English Site to Different Language in Bulk

I was thinking of trying to just find a good English site on a topic and bulk translate it with an AI tool. Possibly going over it with Grammarly to polish it.

What I was wondering is if Google would possibly detect and penalize this in any way?

If you want to do in bulk you can't find anything to translate correctly, each one must be corrected and edited individually.... That is only if you want to do a long-term project.

Google does not penalize translated content

Auto translate with AI? Be careful. Auto translated content needs human supervision otherwise it can cause disaster.

That day I was trying to translate one English article to Hindi. Article's title was - "20 Questions to Ask to Your Crush to Break the Ice!"

The translated article was literally talking about "breaking the ice".

Be careful with that.
The English language is poorer than others. I see it in French, Spanish, and German. Some words are all translated the same way, whereas in French, English, and German, there are synonyms.

As far as Google is concerned, honestly, I think you run a small risk of getting your knuckles rapped if you do that. The site I recently submitted to Adsense was rejected for poor content. Half of it was translations.

Note that they were still indexed, but the ranking was miserable.

You can still use the professional version of DeepL, but check the articles again.

And to review the text, forget Grammarly: it only does English. Go for LanguageTool, a free Chrome extension that has the merit of adapting to different languages. It'll also yell at you when it spots repetitions in a paragraph.

My question was probably poorly formulated. Assuming the translation itself is good (think of it as a good article, but its a direct translation of the original). Is that something Google is trying to penalize? I woulndt see why, just wanted to get other peoples opinion on that.

I plan to supervise the translations, or use a python script to feed the articles bit by bit to the API. I found when letting gpt translatine smaller pieces at a time its great. The more you feed at once, the more likely it starts to make things up and go off track

If I were you, I wouldn't do "rough" translations. Try adding a few sentences of your own here and there.

On one of my sites (which is Adsense-approved and well rank), I often use translations, but I mix them with other articles, add a few elements of my own and so on.

ok thanks for the feedback!

I could probably also automated that through the openai api. Let it translate articles bit by bit, add some unique content and have a human review and approve the final version.
