Advice needed on launching new sites.

    Hello,

    I run the site and sites linked on http://www.smileprint.co.uk. We have several translated versions of the site and we now cover English, French, Dutch, German languages.

    We are slowly working on releasing more sites in other countries, but the translation takes time.

    My question is that should I make live the other domains we have even though they arent translated. For example I could make live smileprint.es .pt .it etc but they would still be in english. The reason I ask this is because I know google will sandbox these sites for a while, would launching them in english now and translating them later get them indexed sooner?

    Thanks

    I think, you should translate first. Google will not index them, because of 100% duplicated content.

    Careful here - Google may send them to ban.
