Hi there, I have been discussing the following problem on the blogger help forum but it seems that there is some discussion about this. Some help came in advising me to check with people here, so hopefully it´s appropriate. I feel free to copy my whole question here again, just to be clear in one thing: I have only 1 blog but the posts are in more languages and would like to include Spanish too in the future. Personally, I´m not happy with the translations in the ´translate´ option, so I prefer to translate myself. If there are any tips to also make pages, layout and the complete blog in 2 languages, that would be an exceptionally great help. Also, somebody told me that the href-tags are normally used in the coding of the website, not for each blogpost, can somebody shine some light on this too? Thank you very much and all the best! Hi there, Just wondering if somebody could help me with the following issue. I´m trying to blog in 2 languages but are wondering if I do not violate any Google laws by creating duplicated content. What if I have written an post in English and then just copy the whole post, and translate it to Dutch? I can include the href language tags in the coding, but is that enough for Google to now this actually a translated copy? Also it doesn´t look very nice on my blog to have the same article showed up in 2 languages, but I can deal with that :-) Any tips will always be appreciated. Also could somebody confirm to me I´m doing the correct thing in regards to the href-tag? I have written an article called ´Christmas Nostalgia´ in Dutch and English. In the English version, I have included this in the coding: <head> <link href=" *http://www.ellisderkx.com/2016/12/kerst-nostalgie-dutch-nederlands.html/* <http://www.ellisderkx.com/2016/12/kerst-nostalgie-dutch-nederlands.html/>" hreflang="nl-nl" rel="alternate"></link> <link href=" *http://www.ellisderkx.com/2016/12/christmas-nostalgia-by-ellis-derkx.html* <http://www.ellisderkx.com/2016/12/christmas-nostalgia-by-ellis-derkx.html>" hreflang="x" rel="alternate"></link> </head> In the Dutch version, I have included this in the coding: <head> <link href=" *http://www.ellisderkx.com/2016/12/christmas-nostalgia-by-ellis-derkx.html/* <http://www.ellisderkx.com/2016/12/christmas-nostalgia-by-ellis-derkx.html/>" hreflang="en" rel="alternate"></link> <link href="hhttp:// *www.ellisderkx.com/2016/12/kerst-nostalgie-dutch-nederlands.html/* <http://www.ellisderkx.com/2016/12/kerst-nostalgie-dutch-nederlands.html/>" hreflang="x" rel="alternate"></link> </head> I have red many articles about this and also on the Google Tutors, but still unsure if this is correct..... The main text on my blog is in English. And I would like the English post to be available all over the world, with the Dutch one showing up only in the Netherlands. Thank you very much for your help!
