Multilingual website PL / CS / EN — how to do it right
Hreflang, language auto-detection, AI translation, local SEO. A practical implementation guide.
Three languages on one site isn't /en/ + Google Translate. Each version must be a full-fledged SEO ecosystem.
URL structure: /pl/service, /cs/sluzba, /en/service. Each with its own title, description, schema.org. Hreflang in head everywhere.
Auto-detection: server-side by IP (Cloudflare geolocation), with manual override. Never redirect without a way back.
Translations: AI (GPT-4.1 / DeepL) as first draft, native speaker for SEO polish. Never raw machine translation in production.
Local SEO: separate Google Business Profile, local backlinks, market-tailored content (Czech isn't a translation of Polish — it's new text).
