How to plagiarize a paper using Turnitin

At first glance, translating a document or piece of text may appear as though one is generating a brand-new piece of content. However, a deeper understanding of what constitutes plagiarism reveals a different picture. The act of translation, though requiring a level of linguistic skill and originality, does not change the fact that the foundational ideas, concepts, and messages of the content are derived from another source.
