I am working on a website that will be avalaible on two language (english and french). I made a script to detect the browser language with $_SERVER[‘HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE’] and depending on the result I load an xml file where all the text are written.
I was wondering if this is a problem for the SEO, as I guess the google bot will get the english version but not the french?
Thanks
Use the following link in your head to advertise the other language. An example for the french homepage:
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="/?lang=en">Otherwise Google cannot know and will only index one language (from my experience)
