Multilingual sites with different domains

I want to create a multilingual site and there are translators. I want to create 5 websites in different languages and the same contents and the top pages have different domains. There is a wordpress plugin of translation and flags are displayed on the toppages but if I click on a flag I jump to a subdomain. But I want to jump to another toppage. If I click on a flag on a blog page, I want to jump to a blog page of a different site. How can I do that? Please help me.

I want to make 5 websites because if google find a website with a toppage written in Japanese, google thinks it's a Japanese website and the rank on Japanese google gets higher. Likewise, if google finds a site with a toppage written in French, the rank on French google gets higher.

You have to create your own menu and not rely on the widget from the plugin you are using. The widget provided with your multilingual plugin wil have links like : www.example.com/fr & www.example.com/en . Or if you use WPML you have the option to link to different domains.

But i have to say that having different sites for all languages is not a good idea. Google will ignore websites with the same content. Google will think those sites are duplicates and your search results will suffer greatly. You have a setting in most multilingual plugins to auto detect your language based on your browser. This is far more superior imo than having a lot of different sites.

You could also only use sub-directories (google best practice) and easily create 1 website available in 5 languages with Weglot plugin https://weglot.com/wordpress-integration

I'll suggest you to do the following things........... 1. Install wordpress on 5 domain and connect to single database.and then use translation plugin.

Or, Buy and use https://wpml.org/. It gives you options to use different domains for every languages.
