PRO vs Enterprise

[erikleirdal]

Hi,

I'm considering using Gtranslate again. Used PRO before, but uninstalled as the site at that time was a national page.

Anyhow, a another page of mine, http://www.yachtingeurope.com will target customers around the globe. I currently have national domains for 10 national domains, yachtingeurope.no, .se, .de, .it, and so on.

My major concern by using automatic translation is SEO and organic search results on Google.

If I choose automatic translation, what's the pros and cons between GTranslate Pro and Enterprise? when it comes to SEO?

I understand Enterprise support domain.no instead of domain.com/no/. Will this be considered the same domain for pricing? Or will each language cost €15/month?

Hi,

You should buy the license only for one domain name (yachtingeurope.com) and we will host for example German language on yachtingeurope.de . You just need to make changes in your 10 national domains DNS to point to our server. You will receive the instructions by email.

Enterprise doesn't have cons for SEO against Pro. It is better, because it includes URL translation, country specific domains which will rank higher on local search engine results pages.

Thank you!

Enterprise is now up and running. Could you as a start enable www.yachtingeurope.no?

[Yana]

Hi,

Yes, we can activate it. You just need to create cname record to point yachtingeurope.no to our server . Which language should we host on yachtingeurope.no domain?

[erikleirdal]

Norwegian.

My zonefile now has the following record
www.yachtingeurope.no. 3600 IN CNAME van.tdn.gtranslate.net.

[Yana]

Just have checked with nslookup tool . www.yachtingeurope.no doesn't point to our server . Please correct the DNS settings.
You can chane cname for www record or you can replace your IP address with our server IP in the A record.

On second thought, I'm not sure I quite understand what zone file you are refering to.

What changes should I make in .com zone file, and what changes in .no zone file?

On my .com page, clicking the Norwegian flag, takes me to no.yachtingeurop.com. Is that correct?

[erikleirdal]

DNSSEC is enables on my .com domain. Is that okay for you btw?

Hi,

You may talk to your hosting provider about changing the IP of your yachtingeurope.no. They probably have an easy to use DNS manager interface. You need to make your domain resolve to our IP address, so when you do nslookup yachtingeurope.no or nslookup www.yachtingeurope.no it resolves to our IP.

If you are having problems with it you can give us access to your hosting panel and we will configure it for you.

Thank you!

I've also added a CNAME in my .com zone file. Is this correct understood?

no.yachtingeurope.com CNAME van.tdn.gtranslate.net

[Yana]

Hi,
I can see yachtingeurope.no is working. You can delete the CNAME record for no.yachtingeurope.com subdomain to avoid duplicate content problems.

Hi,
Issue is that granslate module still takes norwegian to no.yachtingeurope.com instead of www.yachtingeurope.no. Do I need another language module on my page?

My gtranslate is set to "Operate with GTranslate Enterprice - ON"

[Yana]

Hi,
You will need to modify the free module and replace the href attribute with the new link. Also you can use the free html code instead of the module and delete
onclick="doGTranslate('ru|XX');return false;"
change href attribute for Norwegian to http://www.yachtingeurope.no

[erikleirdal]

Do you mind give details on where this href is? I've searched through the files in the module/gtranslate on Joomla site, but are unable to locate it.

[Yana]

Hi,
If you are using joomla version you should change modules/mod_gtranslate/tmpl/default.php file.
I would recommend using free html code instead of the module. It's easier to change the code than the joomla module.

[erikleirdal]

Excellent. Working now!

So can you please verify my settings, and then activate these languages as well?
