Why is GoogleBot crawling our German site and rendering it in English.

[Liamis]

We have a German website at (http://de.pa.com) and we can't get the search engines to index the site in German language.  For some reason the GoogleBot, BingBot, etc are crawling de.pa.com and displaying English text on the SERP.  I've tried testing via web-sniffer.net and Google Webmaster tools which both are crawling de.pa.com in English.

We know the page titles/meta descriptions are in English which we are updating to German, but I'm curious to why search engines are indexing our German site and displaying on the SERP as English text when the entire content of the site is in German.

Thank you,

Brian

Looking at the site it has been cached on the 1st February and is in english, have you recently changed it over to German?

It seems possibly that Google hasn't cahced the updated version of your site recently, you may just need to wait for it to be re-crawled.

Hi Simon, thanks for the help and noticing that!  We actually noticed there were 302 redirects causing issues which we removed on February 5th, so you're right, Google probably hasn't cached the updated version of our site..hopefully!
