SEO and friendly urls for a multilingual website

Let's say I have a website with two languages, one uses Latin and the other uses Cyrillic transcriptions in URLs.

For example:

  • example.com/link
  • example.com/link

My question is more user and SEO friendly if I leave them as they are, or if I add a language prefix so they become

  • example.com/en/link
  • example.com/en/link

I understand that such subdirectories should be used if I have similar languages ​​and then the user won't be confused, but does this apply in my case too?

Better to use the second one to improve SEO results.

example.com/en/link
example.com/ru/

Google likes the tree structure. Of course, you can use the main language without the prefix.

It's also better to have all languages ​​in the same domain:



domain.com/en
domain.com/ru

not on subdomains like this

en.domain.com
ru.domain.com

Good luck.
