I would like to prevent that Google shows my /en/-domain in their search engine. I want to make sure Google always shows my regular domain (without the language-directory) wherever a visitor is based and however the browser language.,
can you tell me please if I can do it by rank math plugin ?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay and for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Could you confirm which translation plugin are you using? Multilingual plugins will add the
hreflang
tag to pages with translation to tell Google to serve a certain version depending on the current language and thus you do not need to index both versions of the page. The main language should only show on the Google search results page.I’ve also checked the websites listed in your account and couldn’t replicate this issue. If it’s not included there and experiencing this, could you please share the affected URL in the designated Sensitive Data section to further investigate?
It is completely secure, and only our support staff has access to that section.
I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance.
thanks for answer ,
I am using the translate press plugin
think is that when I add a new list on web site , and then I’m looking for content of this list in google , it show me only version of page in English or Russia( ru/ or en), even those that main language of web site is in Georgian , for this reason I decide to block from google index this two language and leave only the main language.
It happening only with pages that was created by adding a new list , the rest page what I created manual appear in google without /ru or /enHello,
Thank you for the follow-up, and sorry for the delay.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to replicate this issue on my end. Could you please go through this guide to ensure you have set up your site correctly with Rank math and TranslatePress?

I just want to say that neither of list Thad was add in site not appear in google in Georgian language. just recently I blocked Russian and English language from index in robot txt in order to see maybe now will appear but now neather of language appear in googleHello,
I wanted to check if the issue has to do with the hreflang but I keep getting an issue when crawling. I assume it has to do with the robots.txt disallows you added.
Would you mind having the crawling allowed then use this tool to check if your hreflang attributes are correctly set – https://technicalseo.com/tools/hreflang/ ?
Let us know how this goes. Thank you

Yes, please remove the Disallow:/ru/ and Disallow:/en/ in your robots.txt to let Google crawl and detect the
hreflang
tag on those translated version.I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.
