I actually thought that all of those languages on Global Translator Plugin are supported by Google Adsense since it uses the Google Translate engine. Unfortunately, my thought was wrong. Maling akala. Thanks to Silkenhut, he noticed that not all languages there are supported by Google Adsense, so I have to disable some of the languages that are not supported to comply with the Adsense TOS.
Silkenhut listed the languages that are supported by Google Adsense on his post. To make your life easier, I will do the opposite. I am listing here now the languages NOT supported by Google Adsense that you have to disable on the Global Translator Plugin to make your Google Adsense in full compliance with their TOS. Just uncheck them on the list.
Here they are:
- Hindi
- Romanian
- Catalan
- Filipino
- Indonesian
- Latvian
- Lithuanian
- Slovenian
- Ukrainian
- Vietnamese
After disabling these languages, the translated pages will now show a 404 page. Google bot will notice that and will remove them on the Google cache. However, to make sure that Google bot doesn’t visit them anymore and reindex them, I’ve added the following lines on my robots.txt file:
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /hi/
Disallow: /ro/
Disallow: /ca/
Disallow: /tl/
Disallow: /id/
Disallow: /lv/
Disallow: /lt/
Disallow: /sl/
Disallow: /uk/
Disallow: /vi/
If you installed the Global Translator Plugin and you have Google Adsense at the same time, I highly recommend that you do the same.
That’s all folks!
