If there is export or a second market, language cannot hide in the footer. Visitors should see which language they are in and switch it on first glance.

URL and search

Default language (Turkish) can stay unprefixed; English takes /en. If the Turkish and English versions of a page share the same short name, search engines can bind them correctly. Separate short names create duplicate content and broken alternates.

Titles and descriptions are translated; keywords are not stuffed. Product names stay stable across languages.

Interface

Keep the language switch visible in the header. ADP Group made Turkish / English / Russian an entry point — because for an export firm, language is not decoration.

Copy shortens in English and lengthens in Turkish. Buttons and main text have to flex; fixed widths break.

Content

Machine translation shows immediately on corporate B2B. Terms like catalytic, flexible, or glass standard should stay consistent inside each language.
