Dual language in multiple URLs
-
Hi !
I wonder if anyone has ever experienced this problem before. One of our client is having some trouble with his multilanguage and international website.
A small number of URLs contains 2 different language.
Exemple : http://exemple.com/es-ar/productos/compression-baggers/empacadora-formacion-llenado-sellado/
The part in bold is in english and the rest in spanish.
I need some help to find the source of the problem. The number of URLs like this doesn't stop to increase, but it remains under control.I temporarily implanted 302 redirects while trying to find the source of the problem and fix it.
Thank you for your help.

Nowadays all the CMS are very similar, so you need to check your database/
This is not an official solution but in your case, I will download the database, then open it with a code editor
and search the category that is making a problem look at the code,and then compare the code with another category that is working ok

Thank you for your answers, howerver I forgot to specify that the site is not on wordpress but on Umbraco.
So aside from using a plugin, the source of the problem would be at what level? When translating the category? Or the source of the problem is Umbraco directly when generating the url?
-
Yeah, your problem reside in your categorie, search at wordpress and locate it!
-
the core problem is in your CMS, so first you need to know where the problem is.
Example
In wordpress the translation are made by plugins so for a multilanguage website you need:- multilanguage content / made it manually
- multilanguage theme / made it manually
- multilanguage cms
So probably the problem is in the tranlation of the categorie "compression-baggers".
So, closing the gap you probably need to look into the database of your cms.

URL structure of international hotel website
Hai all, Question about URL structure of international hotel website in Amsterdam: hotelcitadel.nl. Some information: - Target group are mainly english speaking guests from UK and US. Besides that guests from the Netherlands and some other countries. - Website in 6 languages. - No geo-targetting; just language targetting with hreflang annotations. Current situation: hotelcitadel.nl = dutch language version and hotelcitadel.nl/en = english language version We are thinking about changing this to: hotelcitadel.nl would become english version and hotelcitadel.nl/nl would become the dutch version. Reason: root domain hotelcitadel.nl has by far the most links,and making the root domain the english version could help the rankings in english speaking countries like UK and US. What do you think, would this be a wise idea? Regards, Maurice

External URLs in hreflang sitemap questions
I'm currently putting together an international sitemap for a website that has an set up like the following: example.com/us
International SEO | | Guyboz
example.com/au
example.com/ca
example.co.uk
example.se I'm planning on including the hreflang tags within sitemaps for each domain, to make sure google serves up the right version. However, I'm a bit sceptical about including the non .com domains within the .com sitemap - and the other way round for .co.uk and .se sitemaps. The way I've been doing it follows the following example: <url><loc>http://www.example.com/us/</loc></url> Putting in the .co.uk and .se domains within the .com sitemap just doesn't feel right - is this actually the right way to do it? Thanks in advance 🙂0 -
Homepage URL for multi-language site
Hi, We are setting up a new site, and currently considering the URL and folder structure of the site. We will have 2-3 different language versions, and we have decided to use sub folders for this. My question is regarding the homepage URL. We want the English language site (en) to be the default one, from where you can then change the language. Should I have a folder for each of the language versions (as described below)? www.mydomain.com/en
International SEO | | Awaraman
(this would be the default page where everyone would always come if they type www.mydomain.com to webrowser) www,mydomain.com/ru www.mydomain.com/es Or, would it be better for SEO to have www.mydomain.com as the default URL where we would have the English version of the site, and then have two other folders (as below) where we would have the 2 other language versions: www,mydomain.com/ru www.mydomain.com/es Thank you in advance, BR Sam0 -
