Best Way to Handle - International Content - Different Language

[MWM3772]

Our site currently is focused in the USA and the entire site is in the English language.   We have considered broadening our scope to include content from foreign countries - i.e. Brazil.

What is the best way to approach this -- can we use our existing domain and just have a specific section of the site that is dedicated to a particular Country with content translated into that Country's predominant language?    OR could this create SEO issues -- having a domain with both English and some other language?

Would it be better to have this on a totally different domain with Country extension?

This is totally foreign territory for me - bad pun intended.

Any advice, help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Matt,

Make sure you're treating your new translated site the same way as the English site, this also means follow SEO best practices.

You can see the way we translate our website www.motionpoint.com, we currently handle 10 languages. In our case to make it easy to manage we decided to keep our translated sites at a subdomain level.

As with the regular site make sure you offer a good experience in your translated site and that your content is good and relevant for the market.

Let me know if this helps.
