1. First determine the language and market scope

The number of languages, the target country, the main search engines, and the person responsible for the update will directly affect the structure of the website.It's not that the more languages, the better. Priority should be given to covering the real business market.

2. Every language needs a stable URL

Common methods include subdirectories, subdomains, and independent domain names.small and medium-sized enterprises are usually suitable for using subdirectories, such as /en/ and /de/, to facilitate centralized maintenance and accumulation of website weights.

3. The translation process should allow manual proofreading

Product parameters can assist in translation, but brand expressions, industry terms, contract information, and action buttons need to be manually confirmed.The translation status and missing content should be visible in the background.

4. Basic settings for multilingual SEO

Each language needs an independent title, description, body, and structured content, and tells search engines the language relationship between pages through hreflang.

• Avoid sharing the same title in all languages
• Do not automatically jump to untranslated pages
• The site map should contain language pages
• Important content requires local keyword research

5. The content of the regions may not be exactly the same

Different regions may require different currencies, logistics, cases, contact information, regulatory instructions and payment methods.Internationalized websites should allow these content to be adjusted according to the market.

6. Performance and fonts will also affect overseas access

Server regions, CDNs, images, font files, and third-party scripts all need to be tested.Some Chinese font files are very large and should not be loaded indiscriminately on English pages.

7. How to maintain long-term synchronization of multiple languages

When releasing new products or updating policies, translation tasks and check lists should be established.Automatic synchronization is suitable for structure, not for unaudited overwriting of translations.
