Is a translation of a foreign article considered "original" content?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Tell me, will Google consider the translation of a Western article as unique content and not penalize for duplication?
What resources can you advise to read about copyright and license for other people's materials that are used on your site? Is a link to the source enough or do you need to contact the author every time and ask his permission?
If, for example, a comic or infographic is translated into Russian, how can you make it legal for yourself?

Answer 1

the license must be looked at the source, sometimes links, sometimes not without written permission
