How does adding lanugages affect SEO for your domain?
FOr example main lanugage is English, on a 2 mmonth old ecommerce site.
If I add 2 more languages (all pages will be trasnalted). And index those new pages. How will that affect SEO for English version (main version)?
THX.

Introducing new languages on your site is awesome for reaching more people. Just double-check those hreflang tags to make sure your main English pages stay top-notch in search results!

I don't think you'll be affected... at least I've not heard of such a penalty yet...

I've recently been making my site multilingual and based on my research and results so far, it is not affecting it.

Adding languages can have a great impact on your website, like making your web visible and increasing it's reach, enhancing your user experience, helping to create new keyword opportunities in those languages e.t.c

Adding multiple languages can be a great SEO move, especially if your audience is diverse. It won't negatively impact your main English version. In fact, it can boost your site's visibility in different regions and among non-English speakers.
