Spanish website indexed in English, redirect to spanish or english version if i do a new website design?

[NachoRetta]

Hi MOZ users, i have this problem. We have a website in Spanish Language but Google crawls it on English (it is not important the reasons). We re made the entire website and now we are planning the move.

The new website will have different language versions, english, spanish and portuguese. Somebody tells me that we have to redirect the old urls (crawled on english) to the new english versions, not to the spanish (the real language of the firsts).

Example: URL1 Language: Spanish - Crawled on English --> redirect to Language English version.

the other option will be redirect to the spanish new version, which the visitor is waiting to find.

URL1 Language: Spanish - Crawled on English --> redirect to Language Spanish version.

What do you think? Which is the better option?

"Spanish Language but Google crawls it on English"

I think this is a problem. Google should have both Spanish and English versions crawled and indexed, and then you redirect to their new respective versions.

I'd say redirect english -> english, spanish -> spanish and work to resolve the larger issue.
