How to properly handle multilingual URLs in CMS Made Simple without breaking SEO?

Post by roseblack »

Hi everyone,

I’m currently setting up a multilingual site in CMS Made Simple and want to make sure the URLs are SEO-friendly for each language. Ideally, I’d like to have something like /en/about-us/ and /fr/a-propos/ without causing duplicate content or redirect issues.

I’ve checked the documentation and some older posts, but there doesn’t seem to be a clear, up-to-date guide on the best approach for this — especially when using the latest CMSMS version.

Should I handle this through the core CMSMS settings, URL rewriting, or via a custom module? And is there a recommended way to ensure each language version is properly indexed by search engines?

Thanks in advance for any advice or examples!

The Eridu module handles this quite well. It hasn't been updated in a while but I'm running it on a few sites with no issues.
Not getting the answer you need? CMSMS support options
