Better Performance - Good for SEO
Due to its good performance in contrast to other solutions, multilingual websites with MultilingualPress rank higher. Because Google and other search engines care about the performance of websites. Therefore, it’s an important fact for a good search result position.
SEO-friendly URLs & Permalinks
Cool URIs don’t change. A permalink is supposed to be permanent, meaning: forever. MultilingualPress lets WordPress handle your permalinks like you set them up. No rewrites, promised.
Top-level Domains per Language
Use top-level domains for your language sites, like .com or co.uk for English, .fr for French, .pt for Portuguese, .es for Spain, .de for German…
Why is MultilingualPress the right solution?
You're probably asking, why is MultilingualPress the best plugin to use for multilingual websites? That's easy to answer, since with MultilingualPress we use a different approach compared to the usual solutions. Being based on Multisite, you don't have any performance issues, since we are only loading one language per site, instead of other solutions, which load all languages but only display one at the end. A huge performance issue!
Also, our Multilingual WordPress Plugin doesn't change anything in WordPress-Core, so no need to fear updating your WordPress version and conflicts with other well written plugins.
With multisite you have complete flexibility! Each language can have a different design, different functions and plugins, if wanted. No limitations!
Last but not least, better performance -> better SEO. Also you can perfectly SEO optimize each language to your liking, which is limited with other multilingual solutions, since their main page is only in one language and some settings can only be done in that language.

Truly Localized WordPress
There is lots to say about web content in multiple languages. Some things you should think through, and other things you shouldn’t need to worry about. Especially when your content gets more complex, WordPress should remain easy and intuitively usable.
That’s why we have created MultilingualPress on top of a powerful core feature of WordPress: Multisite. The same feature that powers millions of sites on WordPress.com.
MultilingualPress enables you to create a network of sites in different languages, all interconnected just like you want them to be.
Publish away in your language! And theirs. And theirs, too…
