I have a multilingual site and my default language is set to French. This means that all URLs are appearing as French (showing French meta tags) unless they have the ?language= variable added to the end of the URL.

www.mypage.com/english-product.htm  (shows French meta tags)
www.mypage.com/english-product-htm?language=en (show English meta tags)

These 2 URLS point to the same page and in fact this is duplicate content, however the search engines see these as 2 different pages. The first one is wrong, and I want to remove it.

My question is this:

Is there a contribution for making URLs like this?
www.mypage.com/en/english-product.htm

I want directories for each language:
/en/
/fr/
/de/
and each directory will tell the search engines the language of the page.

I have seen other web sites with this URL structure, but I don't know how they are doing it and I haven't been able to find a contribution.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Carolyn
