Readers should be able to share and return to a page in their preferred language. OZJF therefore gives each language edition a stable URL and identifies whether the translation has received review.
What to expect
Each language edition has its own page rather than appearing in a temporary overlay. Readers can switch to English to compare wording. Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, and Urdu pages use right-to-left layout. Language labels and page metadata identify the language edition.
This structure follows Google’s guidance on multilingual sites and W3C internationalization guidance.
What English-primary means
English is the primary editorial edition. When a translation differs in wording, nuance, or legal meaning, readers should refer to the English page unless the translated page is marked as reviewed.
What we owe readers in every language
- A stable URL
- A clear language label
- A direct path back to the English page
- A notice when a translation is limited, partial, or still under review
A translated route may remain available before full review. Its notice should identify that limitation, and placeholder translations are excluded from search-engine discovery until they meet the site’s review standard.
