Noydir may not be incorrect

I haven't been following this, so am not up to speed.

I found this link:

http://searchengineland.com/070305-204850.php

Which suggests you need to add TEOMA to the list.

That link also suggests what robot accepts what commands.

I suspect that this could proliferate with different robots and commands.

(I presume each robot ignores commands it doesn't understand.)

Well ad you see on that table, every machine SE does not understand all attributes. So they have be handled individually.

Adding TEOMA would be a good idea.

I missed to add above another issue:

If you prefer not have your page translated by Google Translate, just insert the following meta tag into your HTML file:

<meta name="google" value="notranslate">

And just to avoid any doubts, see here: http://www.google.com/help/faq_translation.html

I am sure we can make CSE Validator the best tool on the planet.

Does the validator check if the description and keyword meta tags have a repetition of keywords?

Did you probably think of implementing an "http header check" when a user checks a site opening the URL? Just curious.

I am sure I can come up with some more cool ideas. Maybe you can start new threads if you have any questions for the issues so we both can easily follow up. If you want.

I'm not sure how to classify that notranslate command.

It is marked with a meta name of "google", so is not strictly a robot tag but rather associated with Google content generation.

Part of that proliferation.

Thanks for the pointer to it.

(I gave up testing the translators some time ago. A multilingual client looked at what they did for his web site (in several languages) and they definitely weren't ready for prime time. For translating content, where your grasp of the source language is poor, they can really help get the job done quickly.)

[Webnauts]

I did not say that it is a robots tag. It was just an additional implementation suggestion, in case the validator claims that it is an error, even if it is not.

Done! Also added the "NOSNIPPET" directive.

Thanks for the tip. I'll see if I can make this another check if a "google" meta tag is used. Looks like it can only be "notranslate".

Does the validator check if the description and keyword meta tags have a repetition of keywords?

It checks the keywords meta tag (but not the description) for duplicates and generates a message. Do you think this should be a warning or should I leave it as is (a non-warning message)?

Did you probably think of implementing an "http header check" when a user checks a site opening the URL? Just curious.

Good idea but not yet implemented.

[MikeGale]

I recommend leaving the duplicates check as a non-warning. (I've seen cases that could be construed as a duplicate which are pretty nonsensical if "de-duplicated".)

Thanks. I'll just leave it as it.

As for the "google" meta tag mentioned in a previous post in this thread, I added a check to make sure the content is "notranslate". I did a little research and it seems that this is the only content value that makes sense. If anyone knows of something else it could be, then please point me to more information.

Thanks. I've already read that article and it was helpful. You also posted the link in the first message of this topic (which is the link I used to read it originally).

Oh, sorry for that Albert.
