 * Hello everyone, Im new to this.
 * I have my page that uses Translatepress plugin and my default language is set
   to Croatian, the problem occurs when customers search for my company on any search
   engine. The Title on search engine is on Croatian, but when you enter the site,
   it is on English. I know this plugin is causing this problem with indexing everything.
   I set the canonical to the default page but man this makes me go nuts, as I have
   potential customers searching on Croatian but it opens the English page, the /
   en website.
   How do I fix this?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Findexing-problems-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello [@tempestmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tempestmedia/),
 * Thank you for reaching out to us!
 * TranslatePress handles the translation of your site’s content, but it doesn’t
   directly control how search engines index or display those results. Google decides
   which language version to show based on factors like user location, browsing 
   history, and how the site has been crawled and indexed over time. Search results
   in a particular language may sometimes rank higher. In your case, the page title
   and description that appear in search results are in Croatian because those fields
   haven’t been translated into English — Google is using the original (default 
   language) metadata when generating the search snippet. Translating metadata such
   as page titles and descriptions requires additional functionality that’s available
   only in our premium version. Since those meta fields remain in Croatian on your
   site, that’s what Google detects and displays in search.
 * Google decides how the results are displayed based on several criteria, and you
   can find more information here: [https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/search/howsearchworks/how-search-works/ranking-results/](https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/search/howsearchworks/how-search-works/ranking-results/).
