  • The languages’ selection to apply the exclusion

The URL exclusion can be executed using:

  • A single URL
  • A wildcard URL set
  • URL + Regular expressions

Or exclude the whole blog with all its articles using a wildcard with the blog URL

In this example: the blog main URL (/blog) and all its articles (/blog/a-post-about-something) content will be excluded from translation

Once you have setup the URLs to exclude from translations, you can also choose to:

  • Select “NO” (recommended) to totally exclude the translation in the URL and in the content
  • Select “YES” to keep the URL translation but not the page content
