Separate Google+ page per blog language?

[jef2220]

Our corporate blog is currently online in four different languages (English, Dutch, German and French):

• blog.com
• blog.be
• blog.fr
• blog.de

For these different blogging domains we have one single Google+ page on which we share the blogs' content in different languages.

Would it be better to make four separate Google+ pages (per blogging domain)? What would be the advantages/disadvantages?

Also, each article is posted in four different languages. But the author stays the same for all different languages. So one author always posts content in English, Dutch, German and French. Could Google consider this as spam?

Hi Jef,

The best thing to do, is have a read here. The hreflang option would serve you nicely here.

You won't need a separate G+ account for each either. Having the same author is absolutely fine but just make sure you reference each of the sites as a contributor to that site.

Google understands, and handles, multiple language situations pretty well - just make sure you put in the necessary code for them.
