Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) has enabled us to use domain names in local languages and scripts. Local language in URLs has helped webmasters to reach targeted local customers more effectively.

But SEOs in general have a little bit skeptical about its implications on their SEO effort. We know URL plays important role in ranking.

So, when asked in Twitter, Google’s John Mueller shared his thoughts on mixed language in URL path.

John on his reply said that he doesn’t see any problem with mixed language in URL path. He said, if anyone is making URLs for users, then I’d recommend making them so that users understand them.

I don't see a problem with that. However, if you're making URLs for your users, then I'd recommend making them so that your users understand them 🙂
