mostly (90%) websites are designed to include localization (made in php) folder like following: www.mywebsite.com/en/ www.mywebsite.com/de/ www.mywebsite.com/fr/ why do they not use only 1 folder and use dynamically PHP to change localization of website ? has this something to do with search engine rating ?
One would hope that unless it's a pretty small static site those "folders" actually map to the same place and generate pages in the required language. The reason it's in the URI and not URI agnostic is indeed so that search engines can index multiple languages if they want to. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
