      Hi There!,

      A website available in two languages(EN, FR) but mobile version is only available for one languages (EN). Mobile website is designed by following 'Separate URLs' configuration. So all English version desktop URLs are redirected to corresponding mobile version pages.

      For example :  https://www.sitegeek.com/godaddy
      ()
      is redirect to:   https://m.sitegeek.com/godaddy   (if page opened in mobile)
      ()

      But, same URL is in France language https://fr.sitegeek.com/godaddy is not redirected to https://m.sitegeek.com/godaddy

      So what would the correct implementation? France version would be redirected to English mobile version till Fr version is not prepared or it should not be redirected ?

        If you don't have a mobile version for the French site I would not automatically redirect to the English version.

        I would rather offer users the choice - Continue to the French desktopversion or Go to the mobile version (English). For me it's not as much a question of SEO but more about User experience.

        Once the FR version of the mobile site is ready you can do the automatic redirect.

        rgds,

        Dirk
