Using the setup I explained - yes it works fine.

The question now is will the search engine read the original english text or the translated one?

In the early days of internet 75% of internet searched were done in english, individual web sites were read by english robots.

Today - however - only 25% of searched are done in english, the rest in spanish, chinese etc.

Chinese people do do searches in english, but in their own language. I need to get my business registered in both languages (and others) and is the setup provided by Joomla capable to secure that?

My question is then: will Google (US) only read the english version, will Google (China) read the chinese one? - using the Joomla/joomfish setup. And how can I test that this is so and get rating/pagerank etc.
