Key takeaways
- A multilingual blog must serve actual target audiences with localized content and tailored landing pages.
- Select relevant markets, identify articles to localize, and designate update owners.
- Avoid publishing bulk translations if your brand cannot handle inbound requests or keep information up to date in those languages.
A multilingual blog must serve actual target audiences with localized content and tailored landing pages. Automated duplicate content is no substitute for a deliberate language strategy and expert proofreading.
The Recommended Method
Identify relevant markets, select which articles to localize, and designate who is responsible for updates. Map out URLs and alternates between language versions. Verify that technical implementations align with current Google documentation. Don't forget to localize offers and internal links as well.
Implementation Example
Hypothetical example to adapt, without claimed client results: A guide on app demonstrations features a proofread English version and a dedicated sales landing page in that language. Examples and units of measurement are localized. Any product update triggers a review across both versions.
Common Mistake to Avoid
Avoid publishing bulk translations if your brand cannot handle inquiries or maintain accurate information in those languages.
