Hi all,
We are a New Zealand company building our website in HubSpot. We want to have duplicate pages for the USA and Australia with customised content and language.
Is the multi language page variations the best practice for this?
If not, what can we do?
Our main issue is if we use the multi language page variations the url looks like the below:
Is it possible to remove the en- part so it’s:
Thanks 
Hey @willchc, thank you for posting in our Community!
Currently, HubSpot includes the language code in the URL for multi-language pages by default. However, there might be ways to customize this to achieve your desired URL structure, such as “www.company.com/us/home” instead of “www.company.com/en-us/home.”
You can use URL mapping to redirect visitors from “www.company.com/us/home” to “www.company.com/en-us/home” seamlessly. This way, users see the desired URL structure while still utilizing HubSpot’s multi-language functionality.
To our top experts @danmoyle, @Jigar_Thakker, and **@evaldas **do you have any recommendations for @willchc?
Thank you**,**

Hi @willchc
The short answer is no - there is no way to customize the default language prefix in the slug of the URL. The main reason is that the language prefix is primarily for languages and the region is secondary, helping to specify the region of that language.
For example, a plain “us” cannot be a language prefix because, there is also a Spanish language available for United States.
One option is, as @PamCotton mentioned, to set up redirects for your links to appear as if they have “/us/” in the URL. However, if your goal is for the user to completely not see the “/en-us/”, then this won’t be an option since users will get routed to the page containing “/en-us/” in their address bar.
Another option is to simply clone the pages without using the multi language variation feature. This will give you full control over the URLs. The downside here is that it will require more manual effort to link everything correctly and update slugs manually. Another possible issue is that it may impact SEO if search engines deem those to be duplicate content, so you may need to have a strategy for canonical URL implementation as well.
The benefit of using the multi language variation is that once your user makes a choice in the language picker, they are automatically routed to pages with that same language when browsing your site (assuming the language variation is available for each page) - which saves you from having to edit every link/buttton/menu on your website for each language variation.
Lastly, not sure this would work for your use case, but there is an option to use Smart content in HubSpot. This allows you to set rules on a page that display different content in certain sections of a page based on the visitor’s country (and some other parameters). This would keep your page URL the same for all visitors (no language prefixes).
