A new approach for searching translated plagiarism

Detecting plagiarism and similarity between documents written in the same language can be done with high precision with today’s top search systems; there are both free e.g. Plagiarisma (2012), Copyscape (2012) and commercial ones available to use e.g. PlagAware (2012), turnitin (2012). With the spread of foreign language knowledge and the growing number of international students, a new form of plagiarism, translated plagiarism gained ground. When a work or part of it is translated to another language without giving credit to the original author, it is called “translated” or “cross language” plagiarism.
