SEO penalty when content is translated & use on a different blog?

[venkatweetz]

I want to translate articles from my English language blog with a Blog in the Tamil language. The articles would be translated. Could there be a penalty for duplicate content?

Will it affect domain authority?

Thank you for your support!

My personal belief is, not if you translate manually. I am not sure if you use Bing or Google Translate for the purpose.
