Hey all!
I have a homepage in 3 languages.
The page design i.e. photos design etc. is the same but the actual text is of course different depending on the language.
Now I know that it is not good for pagerank to duplicate the content. So my questions are:
Does it affect on the pagerank that you have the same design and photos but different languages?
Is it better for the pagerank to have 3 different domain names each associated to the language e.g. .de for German and .com for English?
Thank you!
Gustav Hi, Gustav
I think you might want to have a js script for language selection or install a Google translation add-on for your site.
Thanks, If looking solely in PR perspective, then it is not good. I would recommend you to use only one version in main domain and got another 2 version separated into subdomain or subfolder instead.

Its better that you have the English version as your main domain. Whereas the other 2 languages can be separated in subdomain or subfolders. The most effective solution is to buy separate domains for different language versions i.e. com for English de. for German and so on.

Considering the English version is the better option as English is now Global language and to make the website in English version give better recognition on the world wide web.
