Hello, I changed the configuration of my joomla/joomfish mulitlingual site into a site which is now loacated on 3 domains. Of course, each webspace has the entire site, one database for all.

The configuration now:

JoomFish Related Configuration
Language integration > use different domains

And for each of the three sites I defined as main language the language of the domain name.

That means that englishdomain-name.tld has english as main language and
frenchdomain-name.tld has french and german .... german...

Fine, s.o. starting with the english site - there is no language directory for english on the english-domain-name.tld , which is not bad for SEO - and deciding to go to french as language, there will be change of course the language and the domain-name, but this is considered as no more staying in the mainlanguage, because now the url is shown as
frenchdomain-name.tld/fr.

Only when the user starts with the french domain name, the same content is shown as frenchdomain-name.tld.
Of course, probably this is to avoid when not defining a main language, is that what is absolutely to do ?

Can this be interpreted as double content and in case of yes how could I change the configuration, if that is necessary.
Also I would ask if there is and how to place a nofollow for two of the three languages ?

With xmap I gave formerly three sitemapes to google for the three languages.
Now I give the same amount, only each sitemap is for a different domainname/language.


Thanks
