Non-translated pages in translated directories taking over search results #3149

Description

Looking for a reference to the New Buffer depreciation, I searched for "node js new buffer deprecated" on Google, and this was the first result:

Going to the page, however, I realized that this was a "translated" version of the page:

Unfortunately, it seems that this page itself is not actually translated and is taking over the search results. Whether you're looking for it in english or the translated version, this is a super not good user experience since the page is in the translated layout but the content itself isn't actually translated.

I feel like there needs to be some kind of solution here since this brings up a few different problems. Potential solutions:

  • Don't publish pages that aren't translated
  • Set canonical URL on all translated pages to the english version
  • Detect browser language and have an overlay that recommends going to the browser language's version of the page.
