Hi,

25 domains is quite a lot and the short answer is that if they have essentially the same content in the same language then you are likely to have a duplicate content issue of some sort.

I think the best way to approach it starts from the top. You need to identify your main keywords by language/country, see what kind of traffic these keywords are (or could be) bringing to your sites and weigh this information against the amount of resources needed to properly build and support all these different domains in their own language.

Once you have decided on an operational level which domains/languages should be your primary focus then the technical way to implement in terms of avoiding duplicate content issues and declaring to the search engines which tld/version is aimed at which target audience is pretty straight forward.

This recent mozinar runs through a lot of these issues:

And all of the posts in the international issues category are relevant and worth a read:

Hope that helps!
