Schema for languages Subfolders
-
I'm using static Schema for each language subfolder in my website,
Should i use the same "URL, description" for every language? or i have to use the URL and description according to the language?
I'm using that schema for english
should i change URL and description in the other languages?
for example

I suspect you didn't understood the question.
MTBE was asking if schema.org structured data items must be in the language used in the subfolder.
For instance, in www.domain.com/en/, will be the items written in English and in www.domain.com/es/ in Spanish?
The answer is yes.

You are using the 'LocalBusiness' schema to tell Google twice about the same business (location) at the exact same address. Its not about different braches or so. The 'LocalBusiness'' schema goal is primarly about one or more business and their location(s) and not about languages.
In my opinion you should put the ld+json script on the start page (https://beassistance.com) and declare your business only once, with the description in English. The other one is probably not necessary.
Its mainly about ONE business (location), to say the same in 2 languages is simply not necessary though its not going to do any harm its just redundant.
Cheers,
Cesare

Which will rank higher: Non-mobile friendly site in native language vs. mobile friendly global site in English?
Hi, we are currently implementing a mobile site, e.g. m.company.com. The global mobile site will only be available in English. We have local subsites of the desktop site, e.g. company.com/fr. The local subsites are not mobile friendly. If a user does a search for a brand term in France, **which site will rank higher in SERPs? **If it will be the global site, is there anything we can do (other than making them mobile friendly) to make the local sites rank higher? Would it be the mobile-friendly site, even though it is only in English, because the local site would be penalized for not being mobile friendly? Or would it be the local site, because Google will give priority to the fact that it's in French, which matches the language of the person searching?

What does it involve when creating subfolders, I believe I may have been given false info
Hi, Please can you help, I believe I may have been given false information about the way sub folders are added to a site. My company are a global company and we would like to start targeting individual country's more effectively with the use of sub folders using our existing domain. However, I have been told by our external web development company that in order to do this we need to create separate websites (eg, www.mycompany.de, www.mycompany.en etc) and then re-direct them to folders within the .com site. Is this the correct way to produce sub folders? If not how is it done? I'm sure that this would be an incredibly expensive venture for us, but yet an incredible profitable one for them.

Adding content in different languages
I have a site which offers free printable greeting cards in English. I have noticed that many people find the site from other countries with keywords in foreign languages. The bounce rate from these countries is high since presumably they leave when they realize that all cards are in English only. I was thinking of providing some greeting cards in different languages. I was thinking of offering each language in a subfolder which is only have the cards in that language but the content will either be in English or an automatic translation per IP. I do not plan to translate the content into different languages only the cards. What is the best way to do this?

French Canadian Website and French Language URLs
Hello, One of my clients has a question on a new Quebec, Canada version of their website. The website content and copy is in the French Canadian language, but the IT Director has asked if, for the purpose of SEO, should the URLs be in French as well? So, this questions has two parts... For SEO, should the URL's be in French or left in English, to avoid crawl errors? For visitor UX, is there any reason to have them in French versus English?

International SEO with .com & ccTLD in the same language
I've watched http://www.seomoz.org/blog/intern... and read some other posts here. Most seem to focus on whether to use ccTLD, subdomains or subfolders. I'm already committed to expanding my US-based ecommerce to Canada with a .ca ccTLD. My question is around duplicate content as I take my .com USA ecommerce business to canada with a second site on a .ca URL. With the .com site's preference set to USA, and the .ca site's geo preference (automatically) set to Canada, is it a concern at all? About 80% of the content would be the same. FYI, .com ranks OK in Canada now and I want .ca to outrank it in Canada. I know 'localizing' content within the same language is important (independent of duplicate content), but this might not be viable in the short run given CMS limitations. Any direct experience to help quantify the impact here between US and Canadian ecommerce? Adding: I'm not totally confident here. From this google webmaster central post it seems that canonical tags aren't needed. I tend to think nothing is truly neutral and want to be confident regarding whether to use canonicals or not. Is it helpful, harmful or harmless? My site already has internal canonical tags and having internal and external would be a pain I think. @Eugene Byun used it successfully, but would the results have been the same without? Thanks!
