I have a website which URL looks like www.example.com
.
The website is in French. Now I want to have an English version and I'm going to translate the site using the WPML WordPress plugin, which I believe is great for this purpose. The URL for the English website will use subfolder: www.example.com/en
.
Now the question is, should I also create a /fr
subfolder and redirect all traffic from original URLs to /fr
. Or should I not bother doing that? What's the benefit in SEO wise?
