I have a Umbraco commerce V15 site and 6 languages. The site has one root node with 15k products in it. What is the best approach to set up this to support multiple domains. I need one domain to show polish and english languages another one english lithuanian and russian languages.

I’d think single root with multiple hostnames would be the way to go. Depending on how your site is structured you might have a big task on your hands with the translations. Something like Translation Manager could help. There’s also Auto Dictionaries for template based translations, but that doesn’t look to be v15 compatible yet.

Docs on how to set a multi-lingual home node up - https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/13.latest/tutorials/multilanguage-setup

Failing all that, you have Weglot which acts as an auto translation wrapper around your site. It’s a fairly easy setup with CNAMEs but comes with a monthly cost.

Not entirely sure on the particulars of Umbraco Commerce but would assume the above is all applicable.

Thanks for reply. I mainly worry about seo how it will affect if for example polish domain has en and pl and other domains has also en versions with same content.
P.S. I do translations with DeepL

Although I have no evidence to back this up, I always use subdirectory over subdomain for SEO.

Translation Manager have a DeepL integration, along with other connectors - Umbraco Marketplace | Umbraco integrations and packages

Hi Marius. Google publishes this guide for multi-regional and multilingual sites that includes different approaches to target different languages with URL structures and other hints such as hreflang tags.

The guide also provides information about handling duplicate content in the context of multilingual sites, which you are also worried about. I don’t know about the specifics of Umbraco Commerce, but hope the guide is helpful.

No expert here either, but I think subdomains are considered seperate sites. This means that your ranking in Google is split between three different sites and quality inbound links only apply to the subsite they are going to.

It’s probably way more nuanced, but we decided to not use subdomains, unless we want to treat it as a completely seperate entity or brand.
