Exclude Pages and Divs from Translation with ConveyThis

Glossary, Whitelist, Excluded Pages, and Excluded IDs/Classes

These settings can be found under My Domains → Your Domain Name → Content Customization

GLOSSARY

Glossary

To keep your translations consistent, use the Glossary to tell ConveyThis which keywords or phrases should be translated in a specific way — or not translated at all

For example, when we translate the ConveyThis website, we specify the brand name “ConveyThis” to stay as “ConveyThis” in all languages

Keep in mind that the Glossary is case-sensitive. For example, “ConveyThis” ≠ “CONVEYTHIS”

Make sure your word or phrase is used inside a separate tag. For example, to create a custom translation for “Hello”, it should be wrapped like this:
<div>Hello</div>
If it’s inside a longer tag, like <div>Hello world...</div>, the Glossary rule will not apply

Whitelist

The Whitelist feature lets you control which pages of your website are translated
When this feature is enabled, translation will only be applied to the pages you add to the allowed list

To use the whitelist:

  1. Click Edit whitelist next to your site name

  2. Add pages manually using Add Pages, or import them using Upload file or From Sitemap

  3. Enter or upload your page URLs

  4. Click Add Pages to save them

Excluded Pages

This feature lets you exclude specific pages of your website from being translated.

Use the rules below to define which pages should be skipped during translation:

  • Start – Excludes all pages that start with your URL
    Example: /blog → excludes /blog, /blog/article1, /blog/article2, etc.

  • End – Excludes all pages that end with your URL
    Example: /hello-world → excludes /blog/hello-world, /news/hello-world, etc.

  • Contain – Excludes all pages where the URL contains your text
    Example: /blog → excludes /blog, /my-blog/article, /category/blog-post

  • Equal – Excludes a single page where the URL matches exactly
    Example: /blog/hello-world → only this exact page is excluded

Note: Use relative URLs when adding exclusions
For example, for https://example.com/blog/, enter /blog

Exclude ids/classes

This feature lets you prevent specific parts of your website from being translated
Add the element’s ID or Class (for example, a header or footer) to exclude it from translation
