Switching off additional language(s) for a segment of the site

[Vinko Tosevski <vi...@gmail.com>]

Dear Lenya community,

I am new to the Lenya CMS and have not been able to find the answer
elsewhere. My employer is running a big website on Lenya. I am supposed to
contribute to the small segment of it. The entire site is bilingual
(English/German) but the decision was made that the segment I'm supposed to
contribute to will be maintained in default language only (English). Is
there a way to switch off the non-default language for a segment of the
site? If not, is there a trick to automatically display the default
language even when someone clicks on the alternative language selector?

Thanks,
Vinko

based on a quick Google search I assume you're using Lenya 1.2, is this 
correct?

What exactly do you mean by "switch off"? Are there any issues with just 
not creating the documents in German?

This is possible, but there is no simple switch to achieve it.
You might consider adding a pipeline to your publication sitemap or, 
alternatively, a rewrite rule to the HTTP server configuration to 
redirect from the German to the English version of each page.
