    Hi ,

    I got some difficult questions – maybe someone can help

    It´s regarding this site – www. hot-zone . tv
    On the index we use a little php 302 to redirect the user to the right language.

    Do you think this is “bad” for google , are there better solutions for checking the language?
    One Problem we have with that is that we just get listed in English search results – because the google bot get redirected to the English versions..

    Next thing is that we use the same url (re/write) for English and German Version
    So the url is exactly the same for English and German Version .
    ( Example /store/bindings-c-25.html same URL for both languages)
    I know this is bad – I think we should ad a extra letter to the URL for each language like
    store/bindings-c-25-engl.html - Do you think this would work, and if it works , can it be bad for us because if we do that, we will have 1000 new pages in German in one day..

    I hope you can understand my "English"

    thx
