Such translation of CC content is pretty much unpreventable and can be a
benefit or a drawback depending on the author's own opinion.

From the point of view of an official 'version of record' (i.e. what the
doi points to) the authors would be named along with attribution of all
contributors. If there are translations, they'd likely be marked as
somethign like "adapted by translators XYZ from article XYZ by original
authors XYZ under a CC-BY license", though details would need to be decided
if it came up. See this 2008 article
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2268932/> for some ideas
floated previously floated. I'll admit I've limited knowledge of
translation practices though, so the project would need advice!
