Don't change the menu to default language if there is no translation

Hi

It’s not possible to have at the same time a Slovak language theme + an English language page.

But you can duplicate the content of your blog and assign it the Slovak language and put it in the Slovak menu.

Would there be any way around it? Duplicate pages are pretty bad for SEO. Also this is for a blog with all blog posts… so it’s a lot of pages.

Hi!

What you request is already duplicating pages on frontend (if not in DB). How could this work?

* English content + English menu => is one page with one url
* Same English content + Slovak menu => is a different page with a different url (the url has to be different for the server to know which menu to serve).

Hi, thanks for your advise. What you are advising is a duplicate content: the same page (with different menu) on 2 urls = bad for SEO and lot of work when writing any new blog post(as this is for blog with all posts, I have now the same issue with events posts)

What I advise is not a duplicate content. When you are in the Slovak version and click on menu Blog, which is only in English, it would show english version of blog, with Slovak menu. That’s all. It is an usual thing to to have active fields in one url on any page that is not completely static and not only in html.

Isn’t there an option to not set a languuage for specified pages? This way, if it has not translation, it keeps the default language.

Why is there a setting in Lingotek Automatic/Manual/Disabled? I would imagine disabled to disable the function of translating and simply use the default langue for all web language versions. It’s pretty usual on many websites to have not translated the full website only the most important parts. Isn’t this possible with Polylang?

Thanks.
