Does Google view same pages in different languages as duplicate content. I can't seem to find a firm answer to that. Love your article, but I have a question.

To me, a website newbie with a knowledge of the toic that is next to none, you reveal a wealth of knowledge and I am truly thankful for that. I'd like to make one comment, though, regarding the automatic translation of websites. I'm a native German speaker but my website is builtin English - so I always picked my brain as to how I could make my site available to German readers as effortlessly as possible. That is when I came across this article and of course my interested got peaked. But with all due respect: from a translation and quality perspective, all automatic translation tools are worthless in my opinion, and ultimately, they are nothing else but a diservice to readers/customers. The translations are ridiculous, and it doesn't matter if you use Google or a software tool. Whichever one you use, the result is useless. Again, that is if you put yourself in someone's shoes - a real person, not a search engine - , who finds your website and wants to translate it by using any of the available tools. It's a different story if you mainly care about just getting your website exposed to the masses. I agree that this might work extremley well, because you can exponetially more URLs out there, hence more potential visitor. But it's ultimately a decision between quality and mass exposure.

In fact, I use my own online language learning business as a gateway to a vast array of international marketing niches. Everybody is interested in learning a second language and especially English learning and translation tools are a great way to attract international clients. Would love to have you visit my site.

But have you thought about this --- say I translated it to Spanish, and that guy signed up and then emailed me his queries in Spanish ......how am I to reply back to him coz I wont be able to read and understand what he writes ? Any ideas ? Thanks and merry Xmas to everyone out there ! George Eng Malaysia Your suggestion is great Ken.
