How should bilingual pages share facts?

English lives at the root and Chinese lives under /zh/, and both versions should carry the same company and product facts.

Educational material only. Mika does not guarantee search rankings or AI answer citations.

Definition

Bilingual pages share company and product facts, with English at the root and Chinese under /zh/. They use hreflang values en, zh-Hans, and x-default pointing to English, and the shared facts should match rather than becoming thin mirrors.

Short answer

Share the same company and product facts across English at the root and Chinese under /zh/. Mark the pair with hreflang en, zh-Hans, and x-default to English, and compare company name, product name, specifications, applications, claims, and question coverage.

What to check

  • English lives at the root
  • Chinese lives under /zh/
  • Hreflang en and zh-Hans
  • x-default points to English

What this does not claim

Sharing facts across languages does not guarantee rankings in either language. Mika does not guarantee search rankings or AI answer citations, and a thin mirror is not market expansion.

A practical example

An English product page and its /zh/ counterpart should state the same company name, product name, specifications, applications, claims, and question coverage. Hreflang uses en, zh-Hans, and x-default to the English page so the two versions share facts instead of acting as thin mirrors.
