Does translated content cause a duplicate content issue?

[Zivush]

I have a new project in which I'd need translating contents that is publicly available for use in my country.
This content is educational and doesn't hold any copyright.
Could it be considered duplicate content by Google? Anyone has experience in this?
Thanks

The issue has been discussed several times here on WebmasterWorld. This thread [webmasterworld.com] is fairly comprehensive.
