I build complete multilingual setups for websites
Service description
I handle the technical side of turning a single-language website into a properly structured multilingual one. Instead of just adding a translation plugin that swaps text on the fly, I build a real architecture: each language gets its own clean URL path or subdomain, the switcher keeps visitors on the equivalent page when they change language, and every page carries correct hreflang tags so search engines index each version separately instead of treating them as duplicate content.
I start by auditing how content is currently stored and rendered, then design a routing scheme that fits your platform rather than fighting it. Along the way I fix the usual mistakes I see on multilingual projects: a missing x-default tag, hreflang pointing to pages that return errors, language switchers that drop visitors on the homepage instead of the translated version of the page they were reading, and URL structures that break the moment a new language gets added.
The result is a foundation that scales. Adding a third, fourth or fifth language later becomes a configuration change, not a rebuild.
What I deliver:
— language switcher with state kept in the URL, not cookies alone
— dedicated URL structure per language, subfolder or subdomain, your choice
— hreflang and x-default tags across all pages, including paginated and dynamic ones
— sitemap segmented by language
— documented structure so adding a new language later is straightforward
