If you don't want to display any translations on a page or subdirectory of your site, you can add it to this list in your Project's [Disable Pages Settings](https://app.localizejs.com/settings/project/disable-pages).
View this short video to learn how to use this feature.

This is handy to use in conjunction with the [Disable Phrase Detection by Page](https://help.localizejs.com/docs/disable-pages#disable-phrase-detection-by-page) setting, so you can both stop content from being brought into the Localize dashboard and stop any translations from being displayed on that page.
* This will stop Localize from displaying the default language-switching widget on the page.
* No translations will be displayed on the page as well.
* Enter each page or subdirectory name separately by clicking the **Add Page** button.
* Regular expressions are supported. You can select from:
* **Exact Match** - enter the exact page or subdirectory name to exclude
* **Starts With** - the page or subdirectory name starts with these characters
* **Ends With** - the page or subdirectory name ends with these characters
* **Contains** - the page or subdirectory name contains these characters
* **Regular Expression** - for any other custom regex not supported above

You can ignore parts of your website for which you won't be needing translations. This will help to keep unwanted phrases/content out of your Localize dashboard.
