Hi all,
I would like to know wether it´s possible to do the following with vBET.
Let´s assume, I have a forum in danish language. I don´t want to install vBET on this original danish forum because I don´t want to mix the forum - it´s targeted primarly for danish users and I want to keep it that way. Even more, because it´s still unclear wether search engines will identify automatic translated pages - even pulled from a local database on a webserver - and it´s unpredictable how those sites will be punished by search engines.
To avoid that the original domain becomes punished in total I have tried to figure out, wether vBET could support rewriting the URLs from domain.com/[languagecode] to a subdomain format like [languagecode].domain.com . vBET responded this can not be done with vBET and so it is fully unsupported.
The content of our forums are interesting even for international visitors and so I wanted to install the whole forums and database to another domain, totally seperated from the original one, and install vBET there. So far no problem on the technical side. But: doing this would let search engines identify the "new" forum entirly as duplicate content.
The question now is: can it be done, that vBET only shows translated content and not the original (danish) content? So SE only see unique sites and don´t rate them as duplicate content.
Regards,
Juice.
