They’ve used the third person throughout, adding “Hart said” at the front of paragraphs, but do not add any insight of their own. The rest of the content is copied word-for-word.
When content is translated poorly it makes the original look bad. I also think adding the “Hart said” is a sneaky way of making it appear that they haven’t just ripped my post.
It looks like a few other sites have used the translated Russian copy (not the original).
Translations are basically free publicity and I don’t have a problem with them (the same post is translated into Japanese). However, done without permission it feels wrong.
Would love to get some insight into this. Should I invest my time into protecting my content? Or let things like this slide? Has anyone had a similar thing happen to them?
