Viper can sometimes detect plagiarism in translated text, but it depends on how much the wording changes during translation.
When text is translated directly with only minor wording adjustments, many similarities will still be detected. However, if the translation significantly alters phrasing or structure, detection becomes more difficult - no plagiarism tool can identify every translation match perfectly.
For more thorough checks, you can use cross-language detection, which compares text written in one language against sources in another. You can read more about that feature on our Cross-Language Detection page.
