Keeping translated facts and coverage aligned
Google treats localized versions of a page as duplicates only when the main content remains untranslated; translating only the template (navigation, footer) while the bulk stays in one language can create a bad experience, and generating many pages through automated translation with little value to users is listed as scaled content abuse. No source located measures whether a thinner or older locale loses to the source language; that part is inference.

BGrade B: peer-reviewed or a large controlled study. A grade describes the provenance of the sources above; it is not a probability that a change will work. The effect basis says how the size of the effect is known: measured by a study, taken from an industry report, only documented without a size, or not quantified.
