Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	Hi there, From what I can see the current engine used is Deepl which is on the pricier side compared to Microsoft and requires more credits, being that there are 2 languages you are translating in and Deepl being used instead of Microsoft this seems correct. I'd suggest using Pay As You Go instead of pre paid credits if possible as it usually will end up being more budget friendly.

isabelleL-11	Hello, If I switch deepl for microsoft, will the translation be the same quality ? Also, if I understand well, pay as you go is cheaper than buying prepaid credits ?

Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	I suggest testing this, in my experience I like both engines, but this is a decision that has to be made by the end user 🙂 Regarding the pay as you go plan yes it's cheaper and also gives you free credits each month.

isabelleL-11	Also , I see that I again got an issue with my LOGO. For some reason displayed has been blocked on EN but not on IT. See photo. New threads created by Bobby and linked to this one are listed below: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-500-page-because-of-wpml/

isabelleL-11	To come back to my requests : It seems the logo is broken for all langages except FR now. Also, I would like to know if it would not be better for my website to put all translated pages as NoIndex and remove Href for SEO ? And if yes, is it possible for you to help me with the config ?

Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	Hi there, Regarding SEO this article might be beneficial, WPML is built with multilingual SEO in mind and this current configuration is the same configuration thousand of sites are using (with href) and we have not had known issues. Unfortunately the configuration you are requesting is outside of this support's scope at the moment. You would most likely need to go through custom code or third party plugin. Regarding the logo, I don't remember discussing this in this thread, however, I do see the issue. I will split that issue into it's own thread as the original issue of this thread here can possibly be considered resolved.
