Axandra Weekly Search Engine Facts’ latest issue #453 has been released.

How Google treats multi-language websites

“In general, having duplicate content across different country-versions of your site (assuming the geo-targeting settings are used) is not a problem.

However, it will still be duplicate content in the sense that the ‘value’ of the content is split across multiple URLs, making each URL on its own potentially appear less relevant than the relevance of all of these URLs together.

One way you could avoid this problem would be to choose one ‘preferred’ version of your content, and use the rel=canonical link element to notify search engines of your preference.

This would generally result in only that preferred URL being indexed, while still letting users use your sites naturally (without redirects).”
