You will then be able to add the replacement details, mainly:
- The rule title (visible only by you in Linguise dashboard)
- The URL where you want to apply the translation exclusion
- The option to keep the URL itself translated or not
- The languages’ selection to apply the exclusion

Exclude content from translation using URLs
The URL exclusion can be executed using:
- A single URL
- A wildcard URL set
- URL + Regular expressions
For example, you can target only your blog main page like that:
![](https://www.linguise.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/exclude-blog-URL.png)
Or exclude the whole blog with all its articles using a wildcard with the blog URL

In this example: the blog main URL (/blog) and all its articles (/blog/a-post-about-something) content will be excluded from translation
Avoid or keep the URL content translations
Once you have setup the URLs to exclude from translations, you can also choose to:
- Select “NO” (recommended) to totally exclude the translation in the URL and in the content
- Select “YES” to keep the URL translation but not the page content

Exclude URL from translation by language
The URL exclusion you’ve added can be applied only in some specific language or in all languages.
