    Hi

    I have a vast amount of pages indexed that I need removed.

    These pages are multlingual versions of our site which we do not want appearing in serps. They are showing up as duplicate titles as the metatags where not translated, only the content ! These pages have been indexed and our serps is all over the place with mulitlingual pages coming up!

    To prevent futher indexing I have put the following in the robots.txt file to block all urls with 'lang' in them
    Disallow: /*?lang=

    But how do i remove all the pages that were indexed in Google that have 'lang=' as a parameter.

    I want to remove the urls with the langauge parameter
    e.g www.mydomain.com/Default.asp?lang=french but I want to keep www.mydomain.com/Default.asp?

    How do I do this in GWT without removing the pages i want to keep.

    Thank you
