Exclude all URLs in a path from a translation

Apparently, this is possible by creating a mini-plugin (a function that will only run the plugin on the page if it is not in the listo f excluded URL/slugs:

– You can achieve this with custom code:

1) Create an empty plugin like this: https://gist.github.com/sareiodata/76f701e01db6685829db

2) Add (and edit the arrays with your desired pages slug that you want to be excluded) the following code to the end of it:

add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘trpc_exclude_tp_from_pages’, -1 );
function trpc_exclude_tp_from_pages(){
$do_not_translate_path = array(‘contact’);
$do_not_translate_path = array(‘home’);
$do_not_translate_path = array(‘test-page-page’);

foreach ( $do_not_translate_path as $path ){
if ( !empty($path) && strpos($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], untrailingslashit($path)) !== false ){
add_filter( ‘trp_allow_tp_to_run’, function(){return false; } );
}
}
}

3) Install this plugin via FTP (copy it inside wp-content/plugins) or create a zip archive with it and install it via the WordPress plugin upload functionality.

Thank you for your kind answer, Alexandru from TranslatePress!
Marking as resolved.

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'trpc_exclude_tp_from_pages', -1 );
function trpc_exclude_tp_from_pages(){
    $do_not_translate_path = array('PART-OF-URL');
	
    foreach ( $do_not_translate_path as $path ){
        if ( !empty($path) && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], untrailingslashit($path)) !== false ){
            add_filter( 'trp_allow_tp_to_run', function(){return false; } );
        }
    }
}

Just for completion, that piece of code was not actually working for me, so I modified it with a hard-coded rule that if the pattern in the URL is detected with the given language code, then strip the URL of the language code (e.g. yourdomain.com/ro/my-page is stripped to yourdomain.com/my-page).

However, this means that the user is shifted back to the original language and when they move onto another page that does provide translation, they need to use the language switcher again to change the language to the secondary language.

In this code to make it work, make sure to modify row no.36 with the secondary language. If you have more than one secondary languages, then it would be more complicated it won’t work.
