smackcoders	Hi there, I have one question. I have the Arabic language on my site. I need to remove it temporarily and reuse it in the future. I saw there is an option to hide the language in the settings. If I use this option, will it only hide the language on the front end? I don’t want this language to be indexed or ranked by Google or other search engines. Or do I need to remove the language permanently?

smackcoders	Hi, I have an issue with removing the Arabic language from my site. I tried to remove the Arabic language from my staging site. I clicked "Yes, delete all Arabic translation," and it's loading after finishing, and it shows the same page. Can you help me with this? Before I shared with you the staging site access. You can check it there. New threads created by Shekhar Bhandari and linked to this one are listed below: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-issue-with-deleting-languages-content/
