As a senior AnQiCMS website operations manager, I am well aware that in today's global market, the multilingual capabilities and promotional strategies of a website are crucial for attracting and retaining users.AnQiCMS as an enterprise-level content management system provides strong and flexible support in this aspect, allowing me to efficiently implement multi-language content switching and accurately target the global audience.
AnQiCMS: Building the foundation for a multilingual global website
AnQiCMS is clearly defined in the project positioning, aiming to help enterprises efficiently carry out multilingual promotion and other activities, and meet the needs of global content promotion, allowing content to be directly presented to users of different languages.This is due to its built-in core functionality for 'multilingual support', which lays a solid foundation for the internationalization operation of the website.When using AnQiCMS for multilingual construction, we need to clarify two main types of language support: system interface language and website content language.
Strategically implement the website's multilingual content switching strategy
AnQiCMS offers two main and flexible ways to switch and display website content, which allows us to choose the most suitable solution according to business needs.
A commonly used method isMultilingual deployment based on multiple sites.The AnQiCMS multi-site management feature allows users to create and independently manage multiple sites.yourdomain.comFor Chinese content, oneen.yourdomain.comFor English content, even onefr.yourdomain.com
Another more integrated approach isEnable multi-language content switching within a single site. AnQiCMS achieves this through its powerful template tags{% languages %}and{% tr %}It provides the ability to switch languages within the site.{% languages %}The tag can retrieve all configured multilingual site lists and generate a language switcher on the website front-end.For example, you can place a language selection dropdown menu at the top or bottom of the website, and when the user clicks on different language options, the page will jump to the corresponding language content version.LanguageName) with corresponding links (Link) and Emoji (LanguageEmoji) and Icon (LanguageIcon), make the user interface more friendly and intuitive.This means that under the same URL path, different language versions of the content can be displayed based on language parameters, or different domain names/subdomains can point to the same AnQiCMS program, achieving content distinction through multi-language site configuration in the background.
In addition, AnQiCMS also providesmulti-language support at the template levelthrough.{% tr %}Implement tags. You can create alocalesfolder for each language todefault.ymla file containing key-valuezh-CN/default.ymlin"yourLocation": "您的位置"whileen-US/default.ymlin"yourLocation": "Your location"translations. In the template, use{% tr "yourLocation" %}It can automatically display the corresponding translation text based on the current website language.This greatly facilitates the internationalization of static text (such as navigation menu items, copyright information, form labels, etc.), avoiding the tediousness of repeatedly writing templates.
Promotion of multilingual content and SEO optimization practices
Just implementing content switching is not enough, an effective promotion strategy is the key to the success of a multilingual website.AnQiCMS also provides the necessary tools and features for promotion and international SEO.
Usage of Hreflang tagsAn essential part of international SEO. AnQiCMS'{% languages %}Tags are not only used for language switching, but can also directly generate standards compliant with search engines like GooglehreflangTags. By inserting in the HTML<head>Block<link rel="alternate" href="{{item.Link}}" hreflang="{{item.Language}}">We can accurately inform search engines of the corresponding relationships between different language versions of web pages, avoid duplicate content issues, and ensure that users are guided to the most suitable page version for their language and region.This is a basic and crucial setting to enhance the visibility of the international market.
Static rules and URL structureIt is crucial for SEO, regardless of single-language or multilingual websites.AnQiCMS supports flexible pseudo-static configuration, allowing us to customize the URL structure./en/products/or/fr/produits/This helps search engines understand the structure of the website and is also beneficial for users to identify the language of the content.The 301 redirect feature ensures that the original traffic and SEO weight are not lost after the adjustment of the URL structure, which is very practical in the continuous optimization of international websites.
Integration of advanced SEO toolsAlso provides comprehensive support for multilingual promotion.AnQiCMS includes features such as Sitemap generation, Robots.txt configuration, keyword library management, and more tools.For a multilingual website, we should generate an independent Sitemap for each language version and ensure that Robots.txt correctly guides search engine crawling.The keyword library can be used to manage keywords for different language markets, assist content teams in localization keyword research and content creation, thereby improving the ranking of various language versions in local search engines.
