I’m running a blog in three languages (EN, DE, FR) and while the English content gets indexed relatively fast, the other two versions lag behind. I’ve implemented hreflang, separate sitemaps, and country-specific subdirectories. Still, the DE and FR content is super slow to appear in search. I’m looking for a way to monitor indexing status by language. Any ideas on how to approach this?

We’ve been dealing with the same issue on a multilingual health portal. What helped us was using www.en.speedyindex.com/google-index-checker/ — it allows checking by URL but also gives insight into regional indexing. I submitted the DE and FR subdirectories separately and quickly spotted that many DE pages weren’t indexed at all, while EN versions were fine. Turned out we needed more internal links between language versions to improve crawl distribution. Once we tweaked that and resubmitted just the DE batch, indexing improved noticeably in under a week. It’s great for managing multilingual SEO when GSC alone doesn’t cut it.
