- Prevents duplicate content penalties across language variants
- Works with all URL modes: path-based, query-based, and subdomain

Structured Data in Every Language

Preserved fields: brand names, organization names, person names, URLs, dates, prices.
- Supports FAQ, Product, Article, HowTo, Recipe, Event, and other common schema types
- Nested schema structures are handled recursively
- Translated structured data means richer search results in every language
- Works alongside your existing schema markup with no modifications needed

URL Structures Search Engines Prefer
How your translated URLs look matters for SEO and for visitors. MotaWord Active gives you control over URL structure with the option Google recommends as the default.
- Path-based URLs: yoursite.com/fr/about (recommended by Google, the default)
- Query-based: yoursite.com/about?locale=fr
- Subdomain: fr.yoursite.com
- Custom URL mapping: /about can become /a-propos in French
- Marketing parameters (UTM, gclid, fbclid) are automatically cleaned from SEO-facing tags so they don't pollute your search index
