Marsel Nikolli	Hi, Thank you for providing more information related to the issue you're having. Setting up a different robots.txt file for each language would be a custom request. You would need to filter the robots.txt for every site accordingly using the official WordPress wp_robots hook (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_robots/). In this case, we recommend that you either hire a developer or a WPML contractor (https://wpml.org/contractors) to accomplish that, as custom coding falls out of the purpose of our WPML Support Policy. I hope that you will find this information helpful. Regards, Marsel
