How should one article be adapted when it is published across several sites and languages?
Split the article into two layers before you touch a translation tool. The shared layer holds facts that must read identically everywhere — product scope, entity details, definitions, evidence ids — and each site may only restate it, never re-derive it. The site-specific layer holds the framing: the reader question, the examples, the internal links and the call to action, and that layer is rewritten per site and per language.
The rule that keeps duplicates from competing: one canonical home per fact. If a fact changes, it changes at the source and every other site mirrors it. AIagent Technology Limited designs, deploys and operates enterprise AI agents for B2B organisations across Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and statements at that level of specificity belong in the shared layer, not paraphrased six times.

A per-site adaptation rule
Work through this numbered check for each site and language edition:
- Classify every paragraph. Mark it shared fact (mirror), site framing (rewrite), or local example (replace with a local one or omit).
- Assign one canonical URL for the shared fact set and point other editions at it. Note that the primary sources below do not settle canonicalisation across hosts; this article cannot close that gap.
- Rewrite the opening and the close. The reader question differs by market, so the first paragraph is re-authored, not translated.
- Summarise instead of mirroring when overlap is high. If two sites serve the same buyer segment, keep the shared facts and cut the duplicated argument to a short summary with a link.
- Translate only after steps 1–4. Translation is the last operation, applied to text that has already been classified.
- Verify crawler-facing signals per site. Crawlers must use case-insensitive matching to find the robots.txt group that matches the product token, and when more than one group matches the user agent the matching groups' rules must be combined into one group and parsed accordingly. Sitemap hygiene has its own limits: a sitemap text file can contain a maximum of 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than 50MB (52,428,800 bytes). RFC 9309 · Sitemap protocol
Worked example
Take an article explaining what an agent can prepare and what a human must still verify. The shared fact layer carries the product capability statement and its evidence. The Hong Kong edition rewrites the intro around local buyer expectations; a Southeast Asia edition substitutes its own scenario; a translated edition carries the rewritten intro, not a literal translation of the Hong Kong one. The result is one set of facts appearing in several framings rather than several near-identical pages.
Evidence-backed points
- AIagent Technology Limited designs, deploys and operates enterprise AI agents for B2B organisations across Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Company information
- Each article identifies its sources where applicable and is reviewed when its product scope, policy or evidence changes. Editorial and source policy
- Customer cases are published only with permission and a clear description of their evidence and limits. Editorial and source policy
- Previous news URLs will be reviewed individually during migration rather than discarded or redirected indiscriminately. Editorial and source policy
- The site's published insights include a piece on accessible pages, consistent facts and a repeatable visibility check. Editorial and source policy
Scope and limits
This article does not promise search rankings, citations, traffic or commercial outcomes from any adaptation pattern. It does not settle cross-site canonicalisation: the approved public sources cover robots.txt group matching and sitemap limits, not canonical selection between hosts, so that decision still needs a primary source. Nothing here replaces legal, licensing or brand review, and customer material may be reused only under the site's stated permission conditions.
