Translation

Absolutely. Translation of some other's article does not mean it is written by you.

Maverick, copying verbatim is detected by computer. Translated work is not original one but how this can be detected.

Google has automatic translation available. It can detect the content that is translated. Most of the times the original author contact us so that we take necessary action as it happened with many members in the past. We de-activated all such accounts and removed the articles.

I think try to make habit for self written article than you will get real improvement in yourself it difficult but after some time it will easy for you.

Mavrick- hence if some body uses automatic translation facility, the copying will be detected. Other possibility is of original author himself reporting. But if the translator uses his own skill in translating without using google facility, detection will be difficult. However, presenting translated work as own is really an offence and nobody should even attempt.
