Duplicate indexed content due to language versions (SEO question)

Hey everyone,
I’ve noticed that my Chevereto site is getting duplicate content indexed by Google because of the different language versions.
Google treats these as separate pages instead of recognizing them as language variants, which leads to duplicate results and might hurt SEO rankings.
Is there any way to tell Google that these are translations of the same content, maybe using hreflang tags or canonical URLs?
Or would it be better to stick to one main language for better SEO results?

Also, will it be possible in the future to translate subpages like Terms of Service or Privacy Policy per language?
Right now, when a German visitor opens the site, the interface is in German, but the subpages remain in English.
It would be amazing if admins could add separate translated versions for those pages directly in the panel.

Would love to hear how others are handling this or if it’s something planned for a future update.

Cheers

I had the same issue and eventually switched to a single language. However, limiting ?lang in robots.txt should work as well. Additionally, they may be included in your sitemap if you are generating one via a third-party tool, so excluding them is a good additional measure. But yes, one language solves it in one step.

I now have thousands of pages that Google is indexing, comprising endless tag combinations from a general website tag cloud. Something I need to look into, but haven't had time to yet.
