Urls in Bilingual websites

[AlirezaHamidian]

1-I have a bilingual website. Suppose that I am targeting a page for keyword "book" and I have included it in that page url for the English version:

English version:

www.abc.com/book

Can I use the translation of "book" in the second language of the website url instead of "book" ? Please let me know which of the following urls are right "

French Verison:

www.abc.com/fr/book             or

www.abc.com/fr/livre                         livre=Book in French

2- Does Google have any tool to check if the second language page of the website has exactly the same content as the English version.

What I want to do is for example for a certain page in English version, my targeted keyword is "book" . So my content would be around books. But in the French version of this page, I want to focus on keyword "Pencil" in French instead of "book".

Is it wrong or any consequences?

That was the main reason for the question number one. Because if it is ok to do what I explained in item 2 then I will set my urls like:

In English : www.abc.com/book

In French: www.abc.com/fr/crayon                       crayon=Pencil in French

Hi Armin Saberzadeh,

I think it is quite fine to have the French translations in URLs like www.abc.com/fr/livre.
Though it is also fine to leave it www.abc.com/fr/book

If you have only English & French content and it isn't hard to implement, I would advice using www.abc.com/fr/livre

The second point. I do not think it is fine to have the same page in different languages about different topics like books and pencils just from user's point of view.

However you can create your pages the way you want and using tags you can tell search engines that www.abc.com/fr/crayon is the French version of the www.abc.com/book page.
You can learn more about the hreflang tags on here.
