On Steemit, I saw people from Russia, India or Spain, just to name a few. Most of these posts were written in English, which is logical, as it is the language of the platform.
What if you also wanted to post articles in your native language?
Some people place their translation in the original post, just below the English version. But it is not a good practice.
Let me explain why you should split your posts by languages :
1. SEO and content finding
Using one post for two languages also means using one title for both of them. That will literally kill the visibility of your second version! Because, writting an English title while your article has English and French version will mainly attract English speaking people.
Easy, right?
Remember, the first thing that readers see is... the title.
2. More tags
Creating another post for your additional language lets you use different tags. As every post is limited to 5 tags, you can use up to 10 tags for the same subject. Interesting, isn't it ?
For example, for my first article Hi, Steemit! I am Dimby from France!, I used the following tags tags.
[introduceyourself, food, blog, travel, story]
If I post a French version, I would use other tags that are still linked to my original post. I'd choose :
[fr, introducemyself, introduction, cooking, photos]
Like that, you can spread your message to a larger audience.
3. More engagement
Larger audience also means more engagement. And on Steemit, more engagement means more influence and/or money.
So, to summup
Split articles by language
=> more tags can be used
=> larger audience
=> more engagement
=> more influence and/or money.
That's the key dear steemians ! What do you think about multi-languages posts ?
