How do I specify that a page is in a certain language so search engines can understand?
Is it a meta tag I put at the top? If it is, do you know if most of the search engines use this to determine language?
I have converted 1 page of content in english to several different languages, and would like to include that information in the html/let the search engines know which language they are dealing with.
Quick google search gave me this: HTTP and meta for language. tl;dr
<html lang="en">
There are other ways of specifying. If you are using apache, you can use a file extension for apache to pull the correct version based on the user-agent's given preferences. for example, name your index page index.html.en
, index.html.jp
, index.html.de
and so on...
