Since the design is completely free, you are free to change the photos to suit overseas audiences and change the page structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO titles and SEO descriptions can also be set for each page, making this a highly effective SEO method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%ef%bc%92%ef%bc%8e%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e7%bf%bb%e8%a8%b3%e3%81%a7%e7%b0%a1%e5%8d%98%e3%81%ab%e5%a4%9a%e8%a8%80%e8%aa%9e%e5%8c%96%e3%81%99%e3%82%8b%e5%a0%b4%e5%90%88%e3%81%ab%e3%81%a4%e3%81%84%e3%81%a6\"><\/span>2. How to easily translate into multiple languages using machine translation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your site multilingual using the automatic translation function, you just need to create one static page for your Japanese site, and the plugin will automatically translate it into English and display it for overseas users. One thing to be careful of here is that because you are reusing one static page, unlike in case 1, it will be difficult to take SEO measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if strange translations are made using machine translation, it could lead to a loss of trust and problems, so care must be taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%e3%81%a9%e3%81%a1%e3%82%89%e3%81%ae%e6%96%b9%e6%b3%95%e3%81%8c%e8%89%af%e3%81%84%e3%81%ae%e3%81%8b\"><\/span>Which method is better?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, even if you create a multilingual website using automatic translation (option 2), there are similar features available in the browser&#039;s automatic translation function or Chrome extensions, so I don&#039;t think there is any need to go to the trouble of building a multilingual website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think there are nuances of each country that cannot be conveyed by machine translation. Also, you will find that sites composed of sentences from each country using method 1 are highly rated by Google. The advantage is that you can create sentences that take into account the keywords of each country, and you can also set SEO titles and SEO descriptions for each country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-none uagb-block-83d6845e\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<p>Although it is not a WordPress site, there is an HTML multilingual site for which I have been providing web support for over 10 years, and we have been researching and implementing overseas SEO together.
