fix(i18n): set correct robots meta for untranslated locale pages#17562
Merged
Conversation
Untranslated locale pages now correctly signal noindex to crawlers. The canonical tag pointing to the English version is preserved, and follow: true is kept so crawlers still follow links on the page.

Hi @minimalsm - the 'Pages to Noindex sheet indicates "Remove canonical tag and add meta noindex tag" for rows 7 - 2040 (rows 2040 - 5581 are app URLs, which only have "Add meta noindex tag," likely because they were never marked with a canonical) |

Untranslated locale pages (e.g.,
/fr/some-page/showing English content) were explicitly being indexed, creating massive duplicate content across 60+ locale prefixes. This will reduce indexed page count significantly (expected and correct).Test plan
