1. For a multilingual website, do I have multiple websites or just one?

Technically, you will have only one website with one database containing all languages. The advantage is that you reduce ongoing cost for maintenance and better search engine ranking.

2. What's the benefits of building a true multilingual website?

The benefits of building a true multilingual website: >> Upto 40% discount on the second language web pages. >> Save on maintenance cost.

3. What is a true multilingual website?

You are wrong if you think that a website with a link to another website of a different language is a multilingual website. By only creating a link, you WILL NOT reap the benefits of a true multilingual website. A multilingual website is ONE website containing unlimited language choices and localised contents for each language. It automatically selects the suitable language site for each individual visitor and visitors have choices to switch between languages whatever page they are on.

4. If I already have a website but want to just add a language to it without redoing the existing one, can you help?

Yes, we’ll build a stand-alone website for the other language with a link on top of the page to switch between the websites.
