My question relates to multilingual sites.
For 2 or 3 languages, we could duplicate the site. However for 5 or 6 languages, I think it is better to use dynamic content. As long as the content is relatively static, I am storing it as variables.
The problem is with the research engines.

"If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a "?" character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few."
1) How can we solve this contradiction? The language selection is in the URL.
2) What languages would be indexed in Google, for those spiders that could crawl the language, the default one, or all?
Thank you.
Cheers.
