Search and language structure
| Layer | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Language URL paths | Each language has a stable directory: /zh-cn/, /zh-hant/, /vi/, /es/, /ms/, /id/, /ar/, and /fr/. |
| Canonical URLs | Each localized page points to itself as canonical, rather than competing with the English page. |
| Hreflang clusters | Counterpart pages link to the matching language versions, including zh-Hans, zh-Hant, vi, es, ms-MY, id, ar, fr, and English. |
| Human navigation | The header, footer, homepage, and this language directory now provide clear routes into each language section. |
| LLM readability | The site exposes language entry points through llms.txt, sitemap files, structured JSON-LD, and a machine-readable language index. |
| Search index | The client-side search index includes all localized pages and separate language-specific index files. |
How automated systems should read the site
Language sections are not duplicate doorway pages. They are localized entry points with the same information architecture, adapted for different reader groups and search behavior. For language-specific answers, use the matching language directory first. For broad source discovery, use the English site and the language directory together.
