Problem: The client needed a way to set their Spanish translated pages to 'noindex, nofollow' without unpublishing them. Solution: We recommended two approaches: 1. Using Yoast SEO to set 'noindex, nofollow' on a page-by-page basis: - Edit the page in the main language. - Switch to the secondary language using the admin top bar. - In the Yoast SEO section, disable the options for indexing. Yoast SEO settings screenshot Note: This action will switch from the advanced translation editor to the WordPress editor for that translation. 2. Adding code to the theme's header file to apply 'noindex' globally to all pages in Spanish:
The client should replace 'es' with the appropriate language code if needed.

Problem: The client's company name 'L&W Supply' is incorrectly translated by the computer as if 'supply' were a verb, resulting in incorrect translations like 'PRODUCTOS DE SUMINISTRO DE L&W' instead of 'PRODUCTOS DE L&W SUPPLY'. Solution: We recommend adding the company name 'L&W Supply' to the translation glossary. This will instruct the translation engine to treat 'L&W Supply' as a non-translatable term, ensuring it remains unchanged in the translation.
