Would it be poor taste to translate existing posts into other languages?

But moreover, with the help of fiver, you can hirer a professional translator with five star rating to help you do the translation with the least $10 to $50 depending on the word count.

So thats my opinion. Thanks

OP isn't looking to contract it out to anyone. They want to personally do the translation. But the thing about translation is that it could get OP in trouble if translations aren't genuinely done. I hope OP is proficient in the languages he mentioned to translate into. Otherwise, they risk being tagged for dishonesty. Whatever you do OP,  you should steer clear of using Google translator at all cost.

To be on the safe side, it’s better to ask permission from the original poster to translate it in other languages before posting it. If he or she approves (depending on the terms), it’s better to give credit to the original poster in English language. That’s just my own opinion to be safe and in good terms.

I am thinking of putting some of my posts into the language boards like German and Arabic.

Would it be poor taste to export my posts to these boards translated?

Translating posts to any language of your choice is a welcomed idea but don't forget to give accolades to the original poster when posting on a board of your choice. It's a necessity to link the post you got the information from when posting a translated post.
It's better not to translate than using a Google translator for your post "my advice"

Like as i said previously in this thread, translation or translating an existing work of some from English language to a local language or maybe from local language to English is not forbidden, but the necessary thing is that the one that is translating have to put or make the reference source official. And if the work is written by a forum user, i embrace the concept that the ideal to obtain permission from the original source is a welcomed development.

There's nothing wrong posting in other native languages. Actually it's a good idea. Some even does it all the time but if we are talking about translating like in google. It could be bad since not all google translation are right. However, if you are using another translater that is good, then it should be done. Make sure to put the information about where you had done the translation.

If you know other languages then that would be good too, it could be easier for you to communicate but if you don't know any then it's also okay. It's not really necessary because you can always post in English.

Most people are Okay reading their local language. they understand and read their local language better than English. it is better to follow the advise of the first respondent which is to get a permission from the owner of any post that you feel that is important and need to be translated. you should also know that you will be held responsible if your interpretation is wrong and your reader might make wrong decisions. try as much as possible to make an accurate translation.

Do not stress your about translating posts we have local boards which everyone  can fall in I don't see any reason you should start translating post. You can have a thought of it.
