Hi,

Google does a nice job translating my website in Chrome, however, it also translates the name of the website / the site title.

How can I prevent this from happening?

(The site was made in WordPress using Ashe Pro.)

Kind regards, Menno

Hi Menno,

 

Thanks for reaching out!

 

I understand that you want to prevent Google from translating the name of your website in Chrome.

To do this, you can add a special meta tag to your website’s header. This meta tag will tell Google not to translate the name of your website.

The meta tag is:

<meta name=”googlebot” content=”notranslate”>

You can add this meta tag to your website by editing your website’s header.

Here are the steps on how to do this:

1. Go to the WordPress dashboard.

2. Click on the “Appearance” menu.

3. Click on the “Theme Editor” tab.

4. Locate the header.php file.

5. Open the header.php file in a text editor.

6. Add the following meta tag to the header.php file:

<meta name=”googlebot” content=”notranslate”>

7. Save the header.php file.

Once you have added the meta tag, Google will no longer translate the name of your website.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Best regards

Hi Vako,

Thanx for your reply. I did as you said, but unfortunately it does not change anything.

I also came across the meta tag

<meta name=”google” content=”notranslate” />

which does work, but blocks the entire page from being translated. I only want to prevent the site title from being translated.

Best regards, Menno

Hi Menno,

 

Weird case, please try to change meta tag with this one:

<meta name=”googlebot” entry-header=”notranslate”>

Please let us know the results.

 

Kind Regards

Nope, entire page including site title is still being translated…

Hi Menno,

 

Weird case, we recommend to ask for the help plugin support team itself, may be they have better suggestion on this case.

 

Kind Regards
