A Multilingual Website for Selling Abroad

Each language needs its own address, its own title, and its own short name. Stacking four languages on one page does not create visibility.

A customer abroad searches in their own language. Adding a German paragraph under a Turkish page does not make you found in that search. Each language is a separate door. The name on the door is written in that language.

1. One page, one language

Four languages on the same screen make none of them comfortable to read. The visitor should stay in the language they entered. Changing language opens the same piece at its address in that language. It does not jump to another topic. The menu, the button, and the form warning must be in that language too. Translating only the body and leaving the menu behind is half a job.

2. The short address is translated as well

If the title is German, the end of the address should be German. Four languages sharing one Turkish slug makes a search engine treat them as copies. Each language has its own address, and the addresses are tied together. The SektorCepte blog stands this way: the Turkish post keeps a Turkish short name, and the other languages keep their own. The sitemap carries all four addresses.

3. Translation is not swapping words

Price, delivery, and returns are written for the habit of that country. Printing a machine translation as it stands leaves a wrong promise. Turning a product name into the phrase people search in that language does more than pasting the dictionary word. Do not publish a page in a language you could not finish. A missing door is better than a wrong one.

4. Currency is not a language

The site can be in German and the price in euro. Putting the language button and the currency button in the same place confuses people. Language changes the address of the page. Currency only changes the unit of the number. Mixing the two sends the customer out of the basket.

5. The door abroad is your own site

A listing left on a marketplace follows that market's rule. Your own site tells delivery and returns in your sentence. SektorCepte Vitrin stands for the local business page. A multilingual window that opens abroad needs a separate address in each language. The fifteen-day free trial is for filling the first page with your own work.
