Each public locale route can carry its own translated page content, title, description, and language relationship signals.

Link your locale pages, maintain your sitemap, and let search engines discover the versions.

/ Why it matters

A localization workflow that belongs inside your product.

Real localized pages

Search engines can request language URLs that represent actual page content, not a browser overlay.

Language relationships

Use canonical and alternate-language URL metadata to clarify which page belongs to each locale.

Translated metadata

Keep titles and descriptions aligned with the language and content of each page.

No proxy dependency

Your application remains the delivery layer for pages, routes, metadata, and visitors.

/ Frequently asked questions

Questions teams ask before localizing.

What makes a localized page crawlable?

Search engines need a real language-specific URL that returns the corresponding content and metadata from the server, rather than text that only changes after a browser script runs.

Should every locale page have a canonical URL?

Each localized page should identify its own canonical URL and link to its language alternatives so search engines can understand the relationship between versions.

How do hreflang tags work for a multilingual app?

Every language version lists all of its alternates, including itself and an x-default fallback, with the same set of links on each page. Altified generates these reciprocal hreflang links alongside a self-referencing canonical URL for each locale.

What is search engine localization?

Search engine localization means making each language version discoverable on its own: a dedicated URL, translated titles and descriptions, hreflang annotations, and a sitemap that lists every locale, so searchers land on the page in their language.

Does multilingual SEO require a translation proxy?

No. Altified helps your own application serve the route, content, and metadata, keeping the delivery and deployment model in your control.
