Link structure for multilingual websites (auto-redirect vs specific country links)

[Monymony]

Hi

So i am currently in the process of linkbuilding for my multilingual website. The page is translated into 10 websites and the format is like this example: examle.com/es/category-page. In this example the country is spain. The german version would be: examle.com/de/category-page. The site has 15 main category-pages that I am trying to rank. A user in here told me that the right way to do it would be to make backlinks for all category pages in all languages to maximise the effieciency.

The only thing is that the multilingual plugin i use for wordress has a feature that automaticcaly redirect users to the language of the country they are in. So if i just link to examle.com/category-page, they will be redirected to Spain if they are currently in spain. Would i be able to just use the examle.com/category-page links for my linkbuilding? Or is it still better to linkbuild for 300 different pages?

Yes, it's in the right section.

It'll be difficult to build links for all languages individually. But, that's how organic links look like. Webmasters won't trim that /es/ part to link to your site as they just copy-paste the link. So, you should build at least a few links for the language variations. The language and context of the article giving you a backlink also matters. For example, if a post in Spanish language gives you a backlink, then it totally makes sense to have your Spanish URL.

Thanks for the answer!
