SEO impact of automatically translating a site into several language?

    Hello Digital Friends,

    For a site created with Wordpress, I just "added" 2 other languages to it with the TranslatePress plugin.
    For the moment I am very satisfied with it because it is easy to use and allows me to change the url of the translated pages.

    The Objective / Hope is:
    - SEO: increase my number of pages on the site & internal links and thus have a better ranking
    - Increase Traffic : position myself on new languages and therefore new visitor traffic

    I am right? or did i miss something?

    thanks in advance

    I've not used this plugin. Does it create a separate site or place the translated pages in folders? I have had success with the placing fully translated sites placed in their own folder, like yourdomain.com/es/translatedsite

    Really nice. It has been a few years since I marketed a multi-language site, but this worked well for me in the past.

    Those aren't Latin characters, they are the TLD for the respective country. Like "cn" is the TLD for China.

    The characters are not the problem now, because the modern web software uses the UTF-8 encoding, which is suitable for many languages. The real problem is the direction of the text, which is from right to left for the Arabic language, and, when you start to shamanize with the directions of the texts, then the weird things may happen with the layout of your web pages.
