Veleor found a new sort of plagiarism: the user takes the Russian text, translates it using Google Translate and then places it on the forum.

This sort of plagiarism can meet not only in the English section, but also in other sections of the forum. Violators can use not only the Russian text. It`s quite difficult to detect it.
I believe this type of plagiarism has been around for a long time, they don't get caught easily
"It`s quite difficult to detect it.", as you said, because there is no automated mechanism to find them
a standard search won't return any relation between the original and translated version
someone has to actually read both messages to know it's a plagiarism then report it
