Hi There, I want Google to crawl the right currencies for the right countries. Now I have setup WPML as: hidden link -> French language / CAD + EUR as currencies I want Google to crawl in the Canadian results: French language + CAD And I want Google to crawl the French results: French language + EUR What is the right setup to reach this? Do we need to work with another url structure like /fr_FR and /fr_CA Thank you so much for your help |

Hi Bruno, In addition to above question, I want to reach the following: To reach this I "think" it would be best to setup different English languages with their own locales: But I have some doubts: I really like to hear your opinion / advice, Thank you so much, |

Hi, The ticket where this was reported was actually created by you: So you can check there again for some ideas in case you have not implemented them. Another possible solution would go around the usage of https://wpml.org/wcml-hook/wcml_geolocation_get_user_country/, however we do not have any use cases or examples for this apart from https://wpml.org/forums/topic/wcml-mechanisms-to-change-currency-via-geolocation-vs-switcher/#post-13376049 But I'm afraid this is as far as it gets within the scope of support. Regards, |

Hi Bruno, Ok thank you very much for your reply. That thread was indeed from me, funny to see that we didn't come any further in 2 years. I think the best solution is the last answer from Bobby which is to create a separate language for the UK and one for the US. Can you tell me if it is wise to change the default locale to en_EN Thanks so much |

Hi, The main reason why we haven't gone further on this is because it is outside of our influence ( the location of Google servers that crawl websites, etc). We are not SEO experts so we cannot provide definite answers on this matter, however I believe these will not cause any issues with SEO: Regards, |
