Language Variants across domains

[WillJV]

Before we opt for an Enterprise CMS license I want to check - Is it possible with an Enterprise CMS license to have multiple cc-tlds for the same "website" within HubSpot?

What we're attempting to do is language vary the website, with a slightly different brand in one geography but largely the same identical website. We're hoping treating this as a single website with then the hreflang, language variants etc working as expected between the domains/URLs?

To give an example:
- Primarydomain.com <-- Global English language

- Primarydomain.com/nl <-- Netherlands variant

- Otherdomain.com <-- Australian English variant (slightly different brand)

We'd want to run these from a single tenant, with a single page then with variants targeting the different language variants across the different URLs/Domains/subdomains.

Is this natively possible?

Greetings @WillJV,

Technically it is possible. In general you can support multiple cc-TLDs (country code top-level domains) / domains for a single website instance in CMS Hub Enterprise (by HubSpot), but there are some important constraints and design-considerations you’ll want to check to make sure your “single tenant across multiple domains + language variants” scenario works as you expect.

This documentation can help you understand in depth: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-and-landing-pages/create-pages-in-multiple-languages

primarydomain.com (Global English) with subfolders for languages like /nl (Netherlands) is fully supported, with proper multi-language grouping and hreflang.

If you want otherdomain.com (Australian brand variant) to be part of the same “group,” you cannot natively manage those as a single multi-language group in HubSpot. You can still set up language/country-specific versions, but variants will be managed independently per domain.

You can add hreflang tags manually to relate pages across domains if needed, but there is no single-page or group management for such cross-domain variants natively.

Also you can have meeting with the sales team or connect with the support team to get more specific solution, as it invloves spending. So its better to be careful.

Hope this helps, if it does then help the community by marking it as a solution.

Happy HubSpotting.

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks so much. 

So to summarise:
- Subfolder native language variants: Yes supported natively

- Separate domain native language variants: No, not supported natively.

And with the latter, we would need to replicate any setup/changes across the two domains?

Does this also apply to subdomains? Or are subdomains an exception here and are natively supported? I.e <subdomain>.primarydomain.com - where <subdomain> is not explicitly a ISO language code?

Hi @WillJV,

Thank you for posting to the Community! 

I understand that you want to confirm whether HubSpot's Enterprise CMS license natively supports managing multiple ccTLDs and language or brand variants as a single website, with proper page variants and hreflang handling, all from a single tenant.

I'd like to tag in some of our Top Contributors to see if they have any ideas on this one -- Hi @Markestac and @Humashankar Do you any advice for @WillJV?

Thank you!
