Do we need translated pages to get cited?
Staff a market or do not claim it — the language rules for AI citation, anchored on your market.
What this gives you
Citation is language-bound more than brand-bound: an engine answering in one language rarely reaches for a page in another, even for the same brand. The rules cover what a locale must ship with, why machine-translated mirrors will not be quoted, and localising the third-party graph rather than only the site.
When to ask this
Any time, including on a brand-new account. This is a policy answer: the rules hold whatever your numbers currently say, so it does not wait on a measurement. Where something is on file it is used as an anchor, and where nothing is, the answer says so rather than implying the advice was tailored.
What it anchors to
The single market your site settings track. A multi-market question asked on a single-market instrument is the finding, not a gap — every reading on file describes that one market.
How to ask it in chat
"how should untranslated or multi-market content be handled when citation follows language"
What you'll get back
A set of operating rules — each with a trigger, an owner and a signal you could check within a stated window — plus the decisions only you can make. No extra cost, and no new data is purchased to answer this.
