Show HN: Trick to remove auto-translated Reddit posts from Google results

4 pointsby xeeeeeeeeeeenuabout 2 months ago
In the last few months Reddit started flooding Google index with automatically translated posts.<p>This is a problem that mainly affects people from non-English speaking countries. You search for something in your local language and get results from American-centric subreddits translated into your language, which may not be relevant to your query at all.<p>If I&#x27;m searching for &quot;szpital&quot; (Polish for &quot;hospital&quot;), I&#x27;m not interested in results about the American hospital system. Not to mention that the quality of the translations isn&#x27;t always good.<p>Anyway, there&#x27;s a workaround, add this string to your queries: -inurl:?tl=<p>Automatically translated Reddit posts contain &quot;?tl=&lt;language&gt;&quot; in their URLs, and the helpful &quot;-inurl:&quot; operator allows to filter out the results that contain this string.
