Background of the issue:
I have a custom post type, 'Cheat Sheets', on my site الرابط المخفي. These posts only exist in English and are not translated into any other language. In WPML settings, I have set the post type to 'Only show translated options.'
Symptoms:
Despite the settings, Google Search Console shows that Google is crawling links with added language slugs of Portuguese and Spanish, leading to 404 errors. Example links include: الرابط المخفي, الرابط المخفي, and الرابط المخفي.
Questions:
Why do those links with language slugs exist despite the settings?
How do I fix the issue of Google crawling these non-existent translated links?
