    Some users are reporting that they are seeing translated page contents e.g: https://prnt.sc/tmxq86

    I have tried adding disallow rules on the robots.txt
    e.g:
    Disallow: /translate_a/
    Disallow: /translate_c
    Disallow: /translate_f
    Disallow: /translate_static/
    Disallow: /translate_suggestion

    This seems to have fixed this issue before, but looks like it is back.

    Also checking on the console looks like it is indeed showing translated content on google search https://prnt.sc/tq7tbh

    Hi,

    I see that you have our paid version configured to have languages in sub-directories, like example.com/es/, example.com/de/, etc, which are indexed by Google and other search engines.

    If you do not wish this pages to be indexed, simply add the list in your robots.txt:

    Disallow: /es/
    Disallow: /de/
    …

    Content loaded from translate.google.com is not being indexed because of https://translate.google.com/robots.txt

    On the second screenshot you simply see your Google Search history, if you have any confidential data there, I recommend removing your screenshot.

    Thanks! ??
