Foreign Language Directories

[gkellyiii]

I have a client whose site has each page in multiple languages. each is in specific directories. Needless to say each page is showing up with the same site title, meta data, and content. When my campaigns are crawled they show up as thousands of page errors. Should i add each of these into robots.txt? would this fix the issue of duplicate content?

George,

i've build websites in 3 different languages and without any of the discribed errors. Each language gets its own title, own description and own content. Did you handcode everything of did you use a CMS to build the site?

Since every language has its own folder I can imagine that every language has its own file to. If that is not the case then i would suggest looking into CMS systems that enable this way of building up websites.

hope this helps some.

kind regards

Jarno
