Best,
My magento 2 shop www.takoda.shop got english (Default), german and dutch store views.
When you search at google, he only search at the default language
What's the way to make also the other languages find-able through search engines for example?

you should create a site Map and submit or submit other language links on internet for google to be aware of these links existence to spider and index
As there is no way to google to switch language.

Have done it, store a urls and enable site map, only the site works except the home page gives the http error 500 , but other pages goes to the store url , any idea ? This was the reason I had put it on disabledAlain Stout– Alain Stout2017年01月30日 17:20:28 +00:00Commented Jan 30, 2017 at 17:20

It looks like some improper htaccess rules or incorrect configuration of admin might be the reason.Post your htaccess.Oscprofessionals– Oscprofessionals2017年01月31日 18:10:03 +00:00Commented Jan 31, 2017 at 18:10

I have post it, I think also something like that still working on it, thanks so much already in advance @oscprofessionalsAlain Stout– Alain Stout2017年01月31日 21:19:39 +00:00Commented Jan 31, 2017 at 21:19

As configuration and htacess together result in this handling so unless one has an option to check actual code its difficult to comment.This needs to be debugged as to why or where the router is moving the request that has been made.Oscprofessionals– Oscprofessionals2017年02月01日 06:12:55 +00:00Commented Feb 1, 2017 at 6:12

Okay I find out indeed that I must dig in to find the cause to repair and solve, it's also hard to find some answers on internet matching this exact issueAlain Stout– Alain Stout2017年02月01日 12:55:53 +00:00Commented Feb 1, 2017 at 12:55
