In-Site SEO
Home analysis
Keep your URLs short. If possible, avoid long domain names.
A descriptive URL is better recognized by search engines. A user should be able to look at the address bar and make an accurate guess about the content of the page before reaching it (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/en/products).
Keep in mind that URLs are an important part of a comprehensive SEO strategy.
Use clean URLs to make your site more "crawlable" by Google™.
Resource: Search for a good domain name here. If no good names are available, consider a second hand domain from Sedo. Go to EuroDNS to register the country extensions for your target markets.
To prevent brand theft, you might consider trademarking your domain name.

Website compliance
Your website does not direct http://dict.leo.org and http://www.dict.leo.org to the same URL. It is crucial that you fix this.
