Best practice for someone wanting to repost / translate some of your blog posts?

[NoahsDad]

I've been contacted by several sites (a few in other countries) who would like to repost some of our articles on their site. A few of these are in other countries and they would like to translate them in their language. (we have a site about raising a child with Down syndrome so they are wanting to use our info to help people...not "beat us" in rankings, or anything like that.)

I didn't know what the best practice on this was. I don't want to get dinged for duplicate content or have someone rank higher than me for my own article, etc. Just curious what the best way to go about this was.

I'm also assuming the articles that are translated wouldn't be an issue at all since the content will be in another language. Is this right?

Thanks!

If you are the first to publish and have the article indexed you get the credit. I would also have them trackback to your article. Many articles get syndicated on the web, however as long as it is trackbacked no one gets punished.
