What do you think, is it better to just keep my blogs in english or auto translate it into languages like Spanish and others using deepl or other

do you target other markets, or just the English speaking market? If you target other markets of course that it's worth translating them

Yes, there are more benefits.. It becomes more approachable and search engine does not crawl translated copies of your blog as duplicate content for the purposes of SEO rankings

What’s the best Wordpress solution while keeping my site fast? I’m tempted to just do it manually but prob better to do it with auto redirect etcetera.
Translate press? Wpml?
Anyone have any good experience with these? Thanks!

If you have a goal to reach non-English market then go with translating the blog. It may just be a lot of work if you will need to translate the image names or recreate infographics. There are auto translation tools but it will be better to have it checked manually by native speakers. Sometimes the translations do not sound good or has a different meaning for native speakers of that language.

Main Reasons Why You Should Not Use Google Translate for Business Purposes. ... The level of machine translation provided is not customized to your specific business needs. The software will translate word for word, which, in most cases, will lead to inaccurate and often ridiculous output.

Im not speaking from experience and cant give any practical advice on this, but i think that its a splendid idea.

Even if the articles are auto-translated and dont make perfect sense, it doesnt matter. Now at least you have some chances on getting those foreign eyeballs on your content, while before you had none.

But i think monetizing with ads (CPM CPC) will be better in this case than affiliate links or any links that lead to English sites.

Just because how likely is your French Spanish Zimbabwean person to click a link from your article in their language, go to a site/page in English, and make a purchase? Id say not very.

Anyway, i think its a good idea. Let us know if you do it and how you did it.
