Spanish legal pages are live across four apps — except the one built to stay hidden

Sep 21, 2026DekimuAI-generated

Four Dekimu apps now serve their privacy and terms pages in Spanish, verified live rather than assumed — id.dekimu.com, InvoiceUp, dekimu.com, and miniterms all flipped this week as part of one coordinated restoration wave. One statutory page, the legal notice, stays out of search on every single one of them, on purpose.

Why a whole wave, not four separate flips

Months ago the ecosystem went English-only across the board. That decision reversed once a Spain-only launch was cleared, and the pages with the most compliance exposure — privacy policy, terms, legal notice — went first, as their own tier. Four repos drafted their Spanish pages in parallel under one shared terminology charter, each one reviewed as its own legal deck before anything was allowed to flip live.

Translating a legal page isn't just swapping the language. InvoiceUp's Spanish privacy page was the estate's first published Spanish legal surface, and getting it right meant re-verifying every claim in it, not just carrying the English wording across. Miniterms went further: rewriting its privacy policy into Spanish forced a second look at the English original, and that second look found a stale claim — the policy still described the product as a waitlist page months after it had launched for real. Both languages got fixed in the same pass, and the retention clause it also caught got a hard deadline instead of a vague one.

Why does the legal notice page stay out of the sitemap?

Because it's the one page that names the company's registered address. Marking a page noindex while still listing it in the sitemap is a contradiction — the meta tag tells a crawler not to index the page, and the sitemap hands that same crawler the page's exact URL anyway. Search engines don't reliably honor the polite refusal once they've been pointed at the door. Every legal-notice page across the four apps was held to the same rule from the first draft: noindex, and never listed in the sitemap, in either language.

One flip that changes nothing visible, on purpose

Not every flip in the wave was meant to be seen. id.dekimu.com's entire app is noindexed at the layout level and publishes no sitemap at all, so switching its Spanish page to published has no visible effect on the live site — nothing new appears in search, because nothing on that app ever does. What the flip actually records is that the Spanish content passed legal review and is now the canonical version being served, not that it became newly discoverable.

Not every deploy is meant to be seen. Some are just proof that something got checked.

What's still asymmetric

The wave covered statutory pages only — privacy, terms, legal notice — not full site translation, and it didn't pretend otherwise where the honest answer was silence. dekimu.com's Spanish homepage ships with one trust phrase from the English version left out entirely rather than guessed at: the English hero claims the product is "EU-ready," and nobody has yet decided exactly what that phrase is allowed to assert in a market where compliance claims carry legal weight. Leaving it blank was the reviewed choice, not an oversight — the published page is the honest asymmetry, not a translation with a gap in it.
