# Exclude content and URLs from translation

Exclusions are managed from your **Weglot dashboard** and are reachable from buttons in the plugin settings (**Settings → Plugins → Weglot**).

### Exclude content blocks

Use **Block exclusion** to stop Weglot translating specific parts of your pages, identified by a CSS selector — for example a code snippet, a brand name, or a third-party widget. The matching elements are served in their original language on every page.

Weglot also excludes a few technical elements automatically, such as icon fonts (`.material-icons`, Font Awesome) and the Craft debug toolbar.

### Exclude URLs, pages or languages

Use **URL exclusion** to keep entire URLs out of translation. You can:

* target URLs with an exact match or a regular expression,
* exclude a URL only for some destination languages,
* choose what happens on an excluded URL — redirect visitors to the original language, or return a 404.

Some paths are always excluded so the plugin and Craft keep working: action requests (`/actions/`), the sitemap, and the Craft control panel.

{% hint style="info" %}
Excluding a page from translation is different from dropping a language. To stop offering a language entirely, remove it from **Destination Languages** in the plugin settings.
