If you select "English" from https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/index.php
this takes you to:
https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/en/welcome.html
note: welcome.html not welcome.php
The menu items are not in a list.

Then why put it there?

What would a search engine give him/her if they entered their enquiry in
Swedish? A welcome page in Swedish or a welcome page in English?
Either way, it's in the wrong place.

Just noticed .... if I use the search engine, the results come back with
the headings in .... Swedish:
Resultat av sökning
80 sidor innehåller translation.
Villkor: AND Bokstäver Insensitive
I wonder what a listener operating from an English-language page is
going to make of that?
Regards.
