I am working on several adult video discovery brands and keep running into the same SEO question: how do you make multilingual pages genuinely useful instead of publishing near-duplicate translations?
What has worked for me so far is separating the site identities, writing localized titles and summaries rather than machine-swapping only the language, keeping canonical and hreflang signals consistent, and adding useful taxonomy/context around each collection. I also keep imported video pages embed-only and avoid copying media files to the server.
For operators running a tube on a shared script, what checks do you use to decide whether a translated page deserves indexing? Do you rely more on search demand, unique editorial context, engagement, or a noindex threshold for thin combinations? I would especially like to hear practical examples from multilingual sites.
