Web Development › Multilingual Sites
A multilingual site is not a translated site. It is an architecture decision.
Building a website that works well across languages requires planning at the structural level: which pages exist in which languages, how the URL structure handles language variants, and how search engines understand the relationship between your language versions.
01
WPML implementation
String translations, media handling, and language switcher UX configured properly.
02
Content architecture
Defining which pages need full translation, localized variations, or can remain single-language.
03
Hreflang implementation
Telling search engines which language version to show to which users. One of the most commonly misconfigured elements in multilingual SEO.
04
Multilingual SEO
Keyword research in each target language, because search terms are not direct translations.
05
URL structure
Subdirectories (/es/, /pt/) or subdomains, with proper configuration for each approach.
Our multilingual advantage
We work natively in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch. For LEVEN Real Estate, we built a multilingual platform that serves international buyers from Latin America, Europe, and the US. The content is not just translated; it is adapted for each market’s expectations and search behavior.
We can review and QA content in all four languages ourselves, which means we catch the issues that translation agencies and automated tools miss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What multilingual plugin do you use?
We build multilingual sites with WPML, which is the most robust WordPress translation management plugin available. It handles content translation, URL structure, hreflang tags, and language switching natively within WordPress — without creating separate site installations for each language.
Do you provide the translations or do we need to supply them?
Either way works. Some clients have in-house translators or preferred vendors, and we integrate their content into the multilingual structure. For clients who need translation support, our team works in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch, and we can coordinate additional languages through trusted partners.
How do you handle SEO for multilingual sites?
Each language version gets its own URL structure, unique meta titles and descriptions, proper hreflang markup, and a dedicated sitemap. We don't just translate content — we localize it, adapting messaging and keywords to match how people actually search in each market. This is especially important for professional service firms operating across regions.
