Hi all, I would appreciate some advice on how to best implement multilingual sites to boost our presence in foreign countries and raise the profile on localised Google etc

So

We already have two domain names

graphskill.com and graphskill.co.uk

I built the website on graphskill.co.uk, then the boss register the .com so I just put a redirect on .com

I have the google translate on our current site, so if anyone does get there, they can change the language but that is not sufficient.

If an english language user goes to Google and types in one of our products (say 20 mm Stainless steel U-bolt) we appear fairly high up the rankings (could still do better). If someone from Germany does the same and enters the same phrase we appear. BUT they won;t they will type in the German version, so Google will not return our results.

So how do I go about this

I am guessing .de website will appear higher up the google.de search results etc

Do I register a .de website and place a whole new site there (obviously costs invovled with the new name but we can go with that) or can I do register a subdomain (free) as say Home Page für Rohrhalterungen und Edelstahl Verbindungselemente: Graphskill Ltd and place the Gerrman site there?

Perhaps I could register lots of subdomains de.graphskill, fr.grphskill etc and put a new foreign language site in each of them then perhaps have

graphskill.com > main page for the company where users can choose their localk site which directs them to de. fr. etc

Any ideas what would be best (seo wise)to do?
