My question: Is it bad from a SEO perspective to index different html pages that have (nearly-) identical content?

I am hosting an AngularJS webapp that serves static html pages to search crawlers. I don't want any JS-managed content to be omitted from search engines, so I generated different html files for small variants of the same page.

Example:


A page that contains 3 tabs will generate 3 html files, one with each
tab content
A page with a carousel will generate a html file for each
instance of the carousel
A page with a content-rich modal will create an html page for that modal, with the content of the 'master page' grayed out in the background.
Different languages generate different html files. However, as english is the fallback language, the generated content for 2 different urls is identical when translations are not available.


The result is that there is a lot of "common" content which appears in many different html files served to crawlers.

Is this a recommended approach?
