I am setting up a European regional website (translated). We will be using hreflang For Language and Regional URLs. If we post a global product update blog post, i.e. is relevant to all markets, would the following cause Google duplicate content penalties? This is the same post, only translated when presented in a different language. For example; 'en' will be the exact same content, 'fr' exact same but in French, 'de' exact same but in German.
