Exclude certain pages from translating

    Hello all,

    I am using translatepress business for my website. The main language is English and the second language is in German. I am using the deep learning extention and it works really well. Now I would like to show the case study pages and blog pages only in English, but I do not know how I could do this in the way I want. If I use the Do not translate certain paths, Exclude Paths From Translation, then I could de translate all those pages and that works well. The only problem is that the menu will also not be translated anymore and the language switcher will be gone. How can I unselect the blog and case study pages while the menu stays in German? Or even that the title,meta, url and menu will be in German but that the texts will be in English. Prefer the first option but second option is also fine. I saw you can make an ID and if you add the ID the section will not be translated, but then I would need to add the ID to every container or column every time, which will be a lot of work.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us!

    I’m not sure what you wish to achieve, could you provide more details?

    Excluding a certain path from translation will always hide the language switcher and make that path untranslatable. This is how the functionality works.

    Could you also send a link to your website?

    Best wishes,

    Hello Dragos,

    At the website https://staging5.ongresso.com/ we have a blog and a case study section. The parent pages of blog and case studies, where you find all the blogs and case studies, will have a German intro and the rest is in English. For this I made the selector #donottranslate which I paste in the ID container which I do want to exclude.

    Now we want to have the case study and blog posts themselves only in English. For that I could use the Do not translate certain paths, Exclude Paths From Translation. Then I could add /blog/* and /case-study/* and those will not be available in German.

    The only big problem for me is that the menu bar and footer will also be excluded, while I only want to exclude the pages. This because if the German visitor wants to see a different page, they need to click on an English link and then switch again to German to see the German content. This is not really client friendly in my opinion.

    So my question is: How could I exclude the blog posts and case studies from being translated while the menu bar and footer stay translated to German?
