Translating Nodewords for multilingual SEO

The nodewords module allows you to add meta tags to your content to improve search engine optimization (SEO). When you translate content into other languages you want to translate the the meta data as well, so translations are also optimized for search engines.

ICanLocalize translator now translates nodewords meta tags along with the rest of the node's content. Nodewords fields that need to be translated (abstract, description, keywords) will be sent to translation and other fields that need to be synchronized (like index enable) are copied to the translated nodes.

This allows running search-engine optimized multilingual websites.

To send the meta tags for translation you need to enable them under the content translation section for each content type. Administer > Content management > Content type > type > Content translation

Content translation

Then, when you send contents for translation using the Translation Dashboard from ICanLocalize translator, the SEO fields are sent along with the nodes' contents.

The translators see the name of each field, so they know what they're translating.

When translation is complete, the new translated node, including the SEO fields is built back in Drupal, ready to be published.
