Right now, the code checks the browser's 'LANGUAGE' settings and goes off the first one, assuming there is at least 1 (or defaults to .. gag.. US English). If there's no languages found (ie. robots, most likely) then it goes off the domain name. This is determined/set for every non-image request. Then in WebMaster Tools, i'll have the same sitemap for each domain .. but the data will be unique. The url will be identical EXCEPT the for TLD part of the url. Win? | |

| Sep 2, 2010 at 10:31 | comment | added | John Mueller | @Pure You need to make sure to use separate URLs per language - that's the most important part. It doesn't matter how they're split (domain / subdomain / subdirectory / file name, etc), it's just important that each URL has content in a one language, so that search engines can crawl & index all language versions and present them to the users appropriately. | |
| Sep 2, 2010 at 5:23 | comment | added | Pure.Krome | heya mate. Can u elaborate on both items, please? Remember, i'm trying to stick to ONE domain (even though the best solution is one ccTLD per language or country). So for #1 ... how will it know to show French or German? Also, I don't understand what you mean by #2. Wouldn't the sitemap from #1 already do this? | |
