Do You Translate Your Site into Multiple Languages?

Do you translate your site into multiple languages?

I'm working on a site that contains my memoir/journal that is currently in English, but I thought, "Wouldn't it be great to get this translated into Spanish, German, Hindi, French, etc." My text is 40,000 words.

Is this wise?

 

Yes I have in the past if it made sense to do so. I translated an English site into Spanish.

 

Do you you feel like you made extra money from it via ads?

 

Yes it was worth the cost of translating the content. It made sense to do so because a product was created specifically for the Spanish market.

 

Thanks for your reply. I have one more question... Did you create a new site with the Spanish content or use a subdomain or simply created a different category?

 

You're welcome. I didn't use a subdomain. For SEO purposes, I think it's better to use subfolders.

 

No, I think search engine allows your pages to be translated based on the readers choice.

 

This Polylang WordPress plugin looks interesting. It allows you to manually translate, so the content won't read choppy: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-easily-create-a-multilingual-wordpress-site/

I would have to have it manually translated because it's a lot of content and reads like one continuos story.

Looks like Spanish and Mandarin are the other most popular languages outside of English.

 

plugin that supports this?

 

most of the languages still needs improvement in translation techniques. google it self declared that they are putting more and more efforts in level of translation.

so i strongly suggest you that, try the google translator for couple of posts and check the accuracy, if you feel it good then you can have a try...
