One website. Every language your customers speak.
Plenty of businesses in Portugal serve customers in English, Portuguese and more. We build websites with properly structured language versions — separate pages search engines can index, a clear language switcher, and translations handled with care.
- Separate, indexable versions
- Correct hreflang
- A clear language switcher
- Human review recommended
A real second language, not a widget.
A translate button leaves you with one page search engines can index and no control over what it actually says. A properly built multilingual site gives every language its own pages, its own addresses and its own place in search results.
- Every language at its own indexable address
- hreflang only between pages that are genuine equivalents
- A switcher the visitor controls, with no forced redirects
- Forms, confirmation emails and error messages in the right language
- Every language updated together when the business changes
What a good multilingual site gets right
The same rules we follow on our own website.
A URL per language
Each language has its own crawlable address — /pt/, /en/ — not a version that only appears after a click.
hreflang between equivalents
Pages point to their genuine translations, so search engines can show the right one.
Visitors choose
No forced redirects by location. The switcher is easy to find and remembers nothing it should not.
The whole journey
Forms, confirmation emails and error messages in the right language — not just the headings.
Currency is not language
Language, currency and customer country are separate settings, handled separately.
Kept in step
When a price or opening time changes, every language changes with it.
Who does the translating?
We build the structure. The words need to be right in every language, so we are clear about who does what.
What we do
- Build the language structure and switcher
- Set up hreflang, sitemaps and metadata per language
- Put your translated content in place and check it displays correctly
- Keep languages in step when you ask for changes
What we recommend you arrange
- Translations from you or a translator you trust
- A review by a fluent speaker before anything goes live
- Checking legal pages with a qualified adviser in each market
Adding a language is a new feature under our Website Plan Terms, so it is always quoted before we start.
How we build multilingual sites
1. Plan the languages
Which languages, which pages, and who each version is for.
2. Build the structure
URLs, switcher, hreflang and sitemaps.
3. Content and review
Your translations in place, reviewed by a fluent speaker.
4. Launch and maintain
We keep every language up to date as the business changes.
Every language kept in step.
A multilingual site goes wrong slowly: a price changes in English and not in Portuguese, a new page appears in one language only. On a managed plan the languages stay together, because the same team applies every change.
- Changes applied across every language
- New pages added in each language
- hreflang and sitemaps kept correct
- Switcher and metadata checked
- Translations you supply put in place
- A person to send changes to
Multilingual questions
Can you translate my website?
We build the multilingual structure and put the content in place. The translations themselves should come from you or a translator you trust, and we always recommend a fluent human review — machine translation on its own reads badly and can say the wrong thing.
Does each language need its own pages?
Yes. Each language version gets its own address, so search engines can index it and visitors can share it. That is also what makes hreflang work.
Will Google show the right language?
hreflang tells search engines which page is the translation of which, and they usually use it — but they make the final decision about what to show.
How much does a second language cost?
It depends on the size of the site and how many pages are translated. It is quoted before any work starts.
