 * Hello, I want to use that plugin. maybe I don’t understand the function correctly.
   i would like to translate my german site into different languages. Now I would
   like all pages to appear in the different languages in google…. but in the backend
   there is an option “Block Crawlers” and this is active. does this mean that my
   pages cannot be included by google?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblock-crawlers%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Even if we don’t create different pages (editable in the back-end) for the translated
   language, we’re clearly defining the language and offering the alternative languages
   in the HTML, so google will know these are not duplicate content pages, but translated
   versions.
 * Your translated pages will still be indexed, we have proper hreflang tags that
   signal the translated version, and the language switcher are proper links.
   **_—
   in the backend there is an option “Block Crawlers”_**This is from the Automatic
   Translation tab. It refers to stopping the triggering of the translations (in
   case the automatic engine is enabled) by the google crawlers when they find your
   website.
