I'm making a website that translates original content scraped from other websites and reproduces it on my own website. The content on the source websites is not behind a paywall, nor does one need to be a member to access it. Also, the the original website is referenced as a source wherever data is used.

I found this question, which may be related, but I will only be reproducing text.

Does the Supreme Court ruling against LinkedIn apply here?

This is prima facie Copyright breach

You don’t own the copyright in the other website. Copyright law says you can’t make translations without permission of the copyright owner.

Unless you meet fair use/dealing criteria (which we cannot assess from you info but it seems unlikely).
