About globalseo-next

Installation

npm i globalseo-next --save

Integration with subdomains (Recommended, better for SEO)

For SEO purposes, it is recommended to use subdomains because our subdomain server will translate the page and return the html to the client. This way, the search engine will see the translated content without executing javascript.

Usage: put GlobalSeoScript component at the end of the body tag.

File to modify for page router: pages/_document.tsx

File to modify app router: app/layout.tsx

import {GlobalSeoScript} from "globalseo-next";

<body>
  <GlobalSeoScript
    translationMode="subdomain"
    apiKey="YOUR_API_KEY"
    originalLanguage="en"
    allowedLanguages="en, es"
    excludeClasses="class1, class2"
    excludeIds="id1, id2"
    customLinks={{
      'https://www.example.com/file_en.pdf': {
        de: 'https://www.example.com/file_de.pdf',
        fr: 'https://www.example.com/file_fr.pdf',
        es: 'https://www.example.com/file_es.pdf',
      },
      'https://www.example.com/file_en.doc': {
        de: 'https://www.example.com/file_de.doc',
        fr: 'https://www.example.com/file_fr.doc',
        es: 'https://www.example.com/file_es.doc',
      },
    }}
  />
</body>

Integration using client side translation

Best for single page applications that don't need SEO.

Usage: put GlobalSeoScript component at the end of the body tag.

File to modify for page router: pages/_document.js

File to modify app router: app/layout.js

import Head from "next/head";
import {GlobalSeoScript} from "globalseo-next";

<body>
  <GlobalSeoScript
    translationMode="client_side_only"
    apiKey="YOUR_API_KEY"
    originalLanguage="en"
    allowedLanguages="en, es"
    excludeClasses="class1, class2"
    excludeIds="id1, id2"
    useBrowserLanguage="true"
  />
</body>

Add language switcher

Put GlobalSeoSelector component where you want the language switcher to appear.

Example on page router: pages/language-selector-app-router.tsx

Example on app router: app/language-selector-app-router/page.tsx

import {GlobalSeoSelector} from "globalseo-next";

<GlobalSeoSelector color="#000" />

Script Props:

Required Configuration:

apiKey: Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the actual API key obtained from your project.
originalLanguage: The original language of the website.
allowedLanguages: The languages that the website will be translated to.

Subdomain Configuration:

translationMode: Set to subdomain to use subdomains for translated pages.
domainSourcePrefix: If your website already implemented internationalization with path prefix, you can set this to the path prefix. For example, if your website has /en/page-name you can set this to /en so we can serve the page from en.yourdomain.com/page-name instead of en.yourdomain.com/en/page-name
customLinks: Custom links for each language. The key must be exactly the same as the value of the href attribute of the link.

Optional Configuration:

useBrowserLanguage: Automatically sets the language based on the user's browser language. Set to false to disable.
excludeClasses: List CSS class names to exclude from translation, separated by commas (e.g., chatbot, no-translate).
excludeIds: List IDs to exclude from translation, separated by commas (e.g., user-comment, code-snippet will prevent translation of elements with ID user-comment and code-snippet).

Advanced Configuration:

translateAttributes: Translates title & alt attributes of images and links. Improves SEO and accessibility. Set to true to enable.
langParameter: URL parameter for setting the language (default: "lang"). Use a custom value if preferred.
delay: Delay (in milliseconds) before the translation service activates, ensuring the page content is fully loaded.
replaceLinks: Replaces links with translated URLs by appending the language code. Set to false to disable.
customLanguageCode: Custom language code for the language selector (e.g., kk=kz for "KZ" instead of "KK").
excludeContents: Excludes specific text from translation using regular expressions. Format: {{regex1}} {{regex2}}.
translateFormPlaceholder: Translates form placeholders. Set to true to enable.
dynamicTranslation: Allow GlobalSEO to automatically generate new translations. Set to false to disable. If you have already reached the quota limit, setting this to false will prevent the error message from appearing on your site.
translateSelectOptions: Translate options inside select tag. Set to true to enable. The globalseo-exclude class will still be respected.
