[Air-L] Publishing the same article in different languages?

[Xanat Meza]

I also study Spanish speaking communities, and have noticed that many people do not read the English versions of my articles. I think it would be advisable in this case to publish both versions. Often, the journal editors demand specific changes  that can tell both articles apart, and you can discuss with them that it is a translation and specify in the final section of the article that the findings were first published in English, specifying the journal.

 Hi all, 

I know most journals only accept original articles (what is quite obvious for a series of reasons), but I wonder if this also (always) applies for translations and, even if it does, what do you think of publishing the same article in different languages?

In my case I often publish in English or Portuguese (my mother tongue), but I research Spanish-Speaking groups/individuals (Basque-Speaking as well) and more than once a few interviewees asked me to publish in Spanish what I wrote about them in English journals as to have a broader reach. But they are right, I definitely should also publish in Spanish, and hence my question. 

Is it okay, possible or whatever to publish an article that was originally in English in, say, Spanish (or Portuguese)? I know in Brazil it is rather ok to publish an article in Portuguese even if it was published in English before if it is from a relevant author or a very relevant topic for the local academia, but I don't know how it works elsewhere. 

best,
