Hi Guys,

Not finding much on this topic, can some share how they are doing this?

Im creating a FB page in non-english, targeting a specific country.
It will be all be in the non-english language, all the posts.
What if I want an English version as well of the page?

How do you go about this?
Have a separate english version or just repost all the posts on the current page in english?

  Cant seem to find an answer by searching. What kind of app? One that switches the language? Im lost sorry.
  
  I see some companies having a separate page for each language, some having 1 page and posting in both languages(looks odd to me) and some with just the primary language.
  
  Im targeting one location but trying to figure what the best way is to handle both languages their.
  
  Anyone else in the boat care to sahre what they feel is the best way?
  
  Thanks

Just have separate pages for every language you want to post in, that way you will keep everything clean and clear.

  I agree. It's not a perfect solution, but the most practical. We have several clients that are facing the same challenge. Some tried to keep everything in one page, mange it by external systems, using apps, etc, but they all gave up and move to a one-page-per-language approach.

Thanks everyone. Seems having a separate page for each is the most common. Only issue im seeing is having to promote two pages.
Having the one page for each removes that problem but to me wont be the best way in the viewers eyes.
