Translation of deleted and redirected pages

Hey there,

1: You can use the following:

https://translatepress.com/docs/developers/translate-only-certain-pages/

But keep in mind that it is an experimental addon right now so you`ll have limited functionality. (you cannot translate your homepage path. example https://www.exemple.com)

Or you can make an empty plugin like this: https://gist.github.com/sareiodata/76f701e01db6685829db
Add 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; } );
}
}
}

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

P.S. You can change the ‘contact’ with what you dont want to translate.

2: If you delete a page that is translated in various languages you will delete the translated pages too. But you’ll need to make redirect for every single page for your desired location.

Cheers,

Hello, thank you for your reply.
About your answer number 2, can I ask you why I have to do these redirects?
What happen if I don’t do it?

Thank you,
Fabrizio

Also, there is no way to see all the pages that are currently translated?

Hello,

The page that are being translated do not exist in “wordpress pages”. The pages are generated dynamically.

In the future we have in mind to add a feature to see all the pages that are translated by translatepress.

And to answer why you should do this redirects:

To keep your seo generated traffic on your website you may want to make redirects for the translated page as well.
Ex:

You have a product page with a “candy” and for this product you have also a page translated in french that is “bonbons”.
When you delete the product from your shop you delete the candy page and the “bonbons” aswell. in this case you may want to make sure you redirect the people who keep search for candy to homepage/en/ and the one who search for bonbons to homepage/fr/

If you dont do it. the persons who will look for a candy on google and click on your website will get a 404error.

Cheers,
