[Risolto] Creation of unwanted "/?lang=en" despite different setting

Problem:
The client is experiencing 404 errors from links containing "

/?lang=en

" despite having a different language URL format configured in WPML, such as "

https://mysite.com/en/

" for English pages.
Solution:
We recommend adding a 'noindex' directive for these links directly from the Search Console to prevent them from being indexed. It's important to note that WPML does not generate these links; instead, WordPress attempts to 'guess' the post's language. Since these links are not indexed, it's unlikely that they will be accessed frequently.
