Best Practices for Multilingual Websites:
- Ensure all important content is translated to provide a consistent experience across languages.
- Consider cultural differences when translating content, not just the literal translation of words.
- Test your multilingual site thoroughly to ensure all functionality works correctly in each language.
- Add a language switcher in a prominent location on your site to allow visitors to easily change languages.
- Remember that some languages may require more space than others, so design your layouts with flexibility in mind.
