Bilingual websites that read naturally in both
A Korean and English site is a +$500 option on top of the $1,000 website. Each language is written on its own, so it reads naturally to either audience. The site is set up so Google shows the Korean page for Korean searches and the English page for English searches.
How it’s built
- Each language has its own address, for example / for Korean and /en/ for English
- Every page carries hreflang tags so Google pairs the two versions
- Titles and descriptions are written per language, because people search differently
- A language switch sits in the header
Examples
Aiden Realty, a New Jersey real estate agent, and Illmatic Wraps, a car wrap shop, both switch between English and Korean with one button. This site works the same way. Try the 한국어 button at the top right.
How it differs from auto-translation
| Translation plugin | Hand-written bilingual | |
|---|---|---|
| Copy | Awkward phrases slip in | Natural in each language |
| Translated views rarely get indexed | Each language page ranks on its own | |
| Keywords | Based on one language | Matched to real searches in each language |

I already have an English site. Can you add Korean only?
It depends on how the site is built. Send the address and I’ll check.
Can you do Spanish or Chinese?
The structure works the same. If you provide the copy in that language, I’ll build it in.
