    Question about the Adsense in a multilingual site.

    http://www.myDomain.com/en/content/....
    only Show Adsense in This page and its subsets (/en/and more). The content of this page is entirely English

    http://www.myDomain.com/fa/محتوا/....
    Never Adsense does not show in This page and its subsets (/fa/and more).


    Is this a violation of the rules?
    Is it confirmed?

    Probably not. Adsense terms and conditions generally talk about "sites" being in compliance and not just "pages".
    You have decide for yourself if this is a risk you want to take or not.

    If you only show your ads on English pages (or those in another language supported by Adsense) then that's fine.
    It's not a problem having other pages in unsupported languages, so long as they do not show ads.

    this links in my website this is any risk for me?

    It's fine to link to pages in unsupported languages, so long as they do not violate the terms and conditions in other ways.

    OK then; your choice; your risk.

    Are you sure? I thought Google says in its guidelines that sites, not pages should be in compliance with the guidelines.
    We have seen examples of sites with some non-family friendly content and even though there where no ads on those specific pages, ad serving to the site was disabled.

    productforums.google.com
    An page using an unsupported language is not a violation of any policy. It simply means that ads may not currently be shown there. If, at some point in the future, that language becomes supported then ads will be able to be used.

    The family-friendly policy is different. Adsense is a family-friendly programme, so all pages on a site must be family-friendly, as should any sites with links from a site using Adsense. Even then it's a bit of a grey area - it's okay to provide links, for instance, to news sites or sales sites such as Amazon, even though they sometimes display content that's not entirely family-friendly.

    It's a good rule of thumb to say, 'When in doubt, don't use Adsense'. But it's also good to use common sense rather than tying oneself in knots. Advertisers don't want to be associated in any way with some forms of content - hence it's important to keep an entire site clean, original, free from copied content, and so on. But there's no reason why a site should not contain some ad-free pages in an unsupported language if the content on those pages is otherwise fine.

    However, if you're worried about it, it's certainly better to be ultra-cautious.
