Google Crawl Errors Persisting after Language Change

[edwiny]

Hello Everyone.

 

I am getting persistent Google Crawl Error of pages that I believe I have since removed. Initially, the prestashop was setup with 3 languages. English, Spanish, and French. so each product would display in 3 different addresses:

 

www.mydomain.com/en/product1.html (English)

www.mydomain.com/es/product1.html (Spanish)

www.mydomain.com/fr/product1.html (French)

 

After realizing this, removed the languages of Spanish and French as my target audience is in the US.

 

However, before realizing the problem, I submitted a sitemap.xml file to google that contains these links.

 

Since then, I have removed the spanish and french tranlsations so now, my product 1 displays as follows:

 

www.mydomain.com/product1.html

 

and not:

 

www.mydomain.com/en/product1.html

 

 

Google, continues to search for

 

 

www.mydomain.com/en/product1.html (English)

www.mydomain.com/es/product1.html (Spanish)

www.mydomain.com/fr/product1.html (French)

 

which of course are no longer there.

 

I continue to send updated sitemap.xml to google, but I am still getting the crawl errors even over the past day.

 

I dont' have the cache turned on.

 

I am using friendly URL and running Prestashop 1.4.7.3

 

Hope someone can guide me.

In time the situation will get resolved but ideally you should 301 redirect the www.mydomain.com/en/product1.html to www.mydomain.com/product1.html

I have the same problem as the op. Google is trying to crawl the old language links which no longer exist www.myshop.com/es/... in my case spanish. It's been a year since I disabled the language, and there's no language block in my shop. Any suggestions? PS 1.4.9.
