About the service
I take on the technical part of transforming a single-language website into a full-fledged multilingual project. This is not a cosmetic add-on like a translator plugin, but real architecture: each language gets its own clean URL (subfolder or subdomain — we discuss this at the start), the language switcher takes the visitor to the equivalent page in another language, not to the homepage, and each page receives correct hreflang markup so search engines index language versions as separate pages, not as duplicates.
First, I understand how content is currently stored and displayed on the site, and only then do I design the routing scheme for the specific platform, rather than imposing a universal template. Along the way, I close typical multilingual project errors: missing x-default, hreflang pointing to non-existent pages, a switcher that loses the context of the current page, and a URL structure that breaks when adding a new language.
As a result, the website gets a foundation that scales: adding a third, fourth, or fifth language becomes a matter of configuration, not redesign.
What's included in the work:
— language switcher with state in the URL, not just in cookies
— separate URL structure for each language
— hreflang and x-default on all pages, including pagination and dynamic sections
— sitemap split by languages
— documentation of the structure for quick addition of new languages in the future
