How does a multilingual website work?
A multilingual website is any website that offers content in more than one language. Examples of multilingual websites might include a Canadian business with an English and a French version of its site, or a blog on Latin American soccer available in both Spanish and Portuguese.
How do you serve a page with content in multiple languages?
To change the language, just simply set the lang attribute. We can define it anywhere in the document, such as in the body, in the paragraph, in the heading, or in the span tag. But the best practice is to set the lang in the span tag.
Why do websites use multiple languages?
Reaching a larger audience
First and foremost, a multi-language website will help you expand your reach and make contact with a much wider audience. With only 25% of internet users being native English speakers, it's high time to start catering to the other 75% and being sensitive to their needs.
