• Web Security Service - WSS

Issue/Introduction

Pages translated by Google Translate or other translation services are not blocked by Web Security Service (WSS) policy rules.

Cause

Category blocks as well as domain or web app blocks are not consistent regarding translated pages unless they are in the G3 global block rule.

Resolution

You must add the category, domain, etc. you wish to block into the G3 global block rule. This is the only way to consistently block content from translated pages.
