It's plagiarism if you're passing it off as your own work. A lot of content on the internet is open source and offered up for free use, but you should still give credit where due by citing your sources.
Read the article, gleaning what information that you find pertinent, then re-phrase the article in your own words.
As for this specific site, we're not even supposed to correct the machine translator's attempts. It's not enforced here too often, but we're not supposed to correct (proofread) Spanish or English works unless the poster has included his/her attempt at a translation. We are here to help you to learn how to express yourself; to learn the correct grammar/vocabulary; not to do it for you.
I have noticed that very few follow up questions are ever posted concerning why proofreading corrections were made. Hopefully, that is because we are all so good at providing the explanation for why we made the suggestion.
Winerday, please abide by the rules of this site for correct spelling, have a look at our forum rules, thanks, any questions you might have, you will find them there.
