“How would Google consider (and rank) a site that uses meta data and URLs in a language (Italian) and has the h1 of the pages in another (English) considered more appealing for users?
ex:
title: Pallacanestro
h1: Basket
url: site.com/pallacanestro/”

This is very clear. What happens if indeed the content in the page is different: Only Spanish for the Section of the web in Spanish and the same for English. But in our case, the URL stays in English, that is, the description just as in English both for the URL in English and Spanish. The only thing that distinguishes Spanish is the ESP word. Does this affect the SEO or should we ask the web master to program it again? https://castroycastro.com.mx/ESP/LegalServices.html, this is the example, the web page is ALL in Spanish but the URL is in English, only the ESP is different to distinguish
Someone please tell me – I want to create my website content in two different languages without any multilanguage plugin.
My main language is English, and I want to create custom post type with custom taxonomy, and want to put all the other language content theirs, and manually link pages b/w both language, so I want to know that, is it good for SEO as well as Adsense?
And if you have a language learning website? lol
What Matt doesn't say is that this mixed language page will not rank so high as the pages from competitors 😉
You need to structure your multi language website a lot to get good google traffic for all languages.
If you really want to put some time and effort into it and you don't have too many of these word, you could wrap them in something like (span lang="en")Basket(span). This should also be much better for screen readers, but of course, it generates quite an overhead.
Thanks so much for making these Matt. I really appreciate it.
great question, great answer.
@kron3r Yeap Right

@adithecool That should be no problem for Google (to some extent, I explain below)
What I am talking about is two languages on the same page, for example, ancient books written in Latin with English side-by-side, of any pair of your favorite languages. There is no dominant language and they are both equally important.
For the pages where the language switching is done with a cookie/Ajax (not QueryString) Google doesn't know how to index it, and it grabs the default that comes without cookies.
A.K.A. Google doesn't like sites that have multiple languages in the same page.
So, you guys who are working to improve your foreign language skills, looks like you're out of luck when searching those pages with Google.
That's Great…
Even Subdomain or else a different Directory also can work on the domain with different languages.
Thanks matt for nicely explaining and clearing the Information..

So that's how it works! Nice, even I'm only using a half language.
