Advice requested on multi-lingual websites
 

Hello,

I have built a website using wordpress as a CMS. The website has mostly static content. Now I would like to build this website in a different language but I am not sure what is the best way to do it. Once finished I want to use the hreflang tag to let google know of it.

- Should I just use a wordpress plugin to translate all the content? The problem I see there is that the domain name of itself only makes sense in the native language. It does not make sense for a translated version. Also the SEO, such as title tags for images are only good in the native language.

- Or should I set up a new domain in that second language, copy the whole worpress contents with database, translate everything and then use the hreflang tag to link those two websites/domains.

I would appreciate your advice and opinion.
Thank you.
