Foriegn Languages and Google

[kaus]

For anyone who has added languages


In the next couple of weeks I will be adding more languages and am wondering if there is a way to not have these pages show up for the same search results as my english site in google.com. I am not using english words besides the name of the room in my title tag or any tag for that matter, yet they continue to popup in google.com . Can this become an issue with other pages that are already ranking well?

[weblight]

as long as the page hzs at least 300-400 words in the other language and some foreign language words in the title, description and and so on should be a problem. (same duplicate content "issues" apply here as with English)
We have quite many language sites and never had any duplicate content problems.

I would suggest adding a relevant language meta tag as well..

Hope this helps,
Weblight

So Weblight,

Are you saying that even though the page has been translated into another language you can still get the duplicate content penalty in google?

Is this right?

[Elgoog]

translated text is not duplicate content

they continue to popup in google.com only for that pokerroom namei suppose?
that wouldnt be a problem than...

also if you have a .com in googlewebmastertools you can define for wich regional search/country you want to be found
