Content distribution strategy: Precision customization for different markets
In AnQiCMS, the most recommended and efficient multilingual content publishing strategy is to make use of its powerful multi-site management capabilities to create an independent site for each target market or language.
Establish an independent language site:
You can consider different language versions as independent websites, managed uniformly through the AnQiCMS backend. For example, you can set up a Chinese site for the main station (www.yourdomain.comCreate an English site for English users againen.yourdomain.comCreate a Spanish site for Spanish-speaking userses.yourdomain.comAnd so on...
When deploying AnQiCMS on the server, you can add multiple websites under one AnQiCMS instance via the multi-site management feature.Each website can be bound to an independent domain, having an independent database name and site root directory, used to store their respective cache and data.This needs to be configured only once during deployment, and all subsequent site operations are completed in the AnQiCMS backend, greatly simplifying O&M work.
Content creation and localization:
Content localizationThat is, adjust and optimize the content according to the cultural background, consumption habits, and search preferences of the target audience.
For example, a product introduction article on a Chinese site may focus on the concerns of domestic consumers, while on an English site, it may highlight the universal selling points for the international market.You can use the "Add Document", "Document Category", "Document Tag", and "Content Model" features provided by AnQiCMS to plan and manage the content of each language site in a refined manner.Each language site's articles, categories, products, etc. can have their own SEO titles, keywords, and descriptions to ensure ranking in local search engines.It is worth mentioning that the custom URL feature can ensure that each language version has a link structure that is beneficial for SEO and easy to remember.
