SEO - Need full path url on link for multiple subdomain site?

My site has different language and I plan to have subdomain like en.domain.com, cht.domain.com, chs.domain.com then inside the site all other links i will have like href='/music', etc. as it will work for all subdomains.

Will it be confusing for seo to index my site? Do I need to dynamically set the full path for each subdomains?

Thanks.

The drawback of your method it that you will have to create one sitemap for each subdomain and post it in each subdomain, which can be tedious if you have many subdomains. You would need to maintain several Google Webmaster Tools account too to monitor them too. Maintaining several subdomains is not very efficient SEO-wise.

Another method is to use folders, such as domain.com/en, domain.com/cht, domain.com/chs, etc... You would only need to maintain one sitemap and one Google Webmaster Tool account, which is less hassle. It would also be much more efficient regarding SEO and rankings.

No matter which method you choose, it is highly recommended to use the rel="alternate" hreflang="x" tags to notify existing page translations. This is very good for indexing, it helps search engines a lot.
