Godot-docs: Non-English docs appear on the top of Google search results

Created on 15 Jun 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: godotengine/godot-docs

Recently when I search Godot related topics on Google, I often see non-English (especially Ukrainian) docs on the top of the results.

(FYI, I'm using Google in English from South Korea.)

The pages are mostly in English (which I guess is the reason why Google thinks they are English pages) so it's not major inconvenience, but I think occasional paragraphs, headers, and table of content written in Ukrainian may confuse people.

I wonder if this can be resolved with something like metadata? I'm not sure.

Looks like the fix is effective and they are catching up. At least for me, most results are now showing English docs at the top (Polygon2D for example), but there are still few keywords ("Godot + Sprite", "Godot + Area" for example) getting Ukrainian docs.

This is a known issue, and I've actually pushed a potential fix for it a few days ago: b6cb5c3ee7ec86b8730bb14af80c4a4089328175

But I guess we need to give search engines a few more days to catch up, if that fix is efficient.

It seems to be better now in my tests. All of "Godot" + "Polygon2D"/"Sprite"/"Area" gave me the en results.

I also saw en results when I googled godot , godot area, godot sprite.

Same here! For the past few days I've only seen English docs on the top.

Nice! Fixed by b6cb5c3 then.
