pascalB-53	Background of the issue: I have a custom post type, 'Cheat Sheets', on my site hidden link. 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: hidden link, hidden link, and hidden link. 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?
