I am using Liferay 6.1 and have developed theme in the same. My problem is when i load the theme the head section contains huge links as shown below:

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ar-SA" href="http://localhost/ar">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="eu-ES" href="http://localhost/eu">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="bg-BG" href="http://localhost/bg">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ca-AD" href="http://localhost/ca">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ca-ES" href="http://localhost/ca_ES">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="zh-CN" href="http://localhost/zh">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="zh-TW" href="http://localhost/zh_TW">

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ru-RU" href="http://localhost/ru">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="sr-RS" href="http://localhost/sr">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="sr-RS-latin" href="http://localhost/sr_RS_latin">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="sl-SI" href="http://localhost/sl">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="sk-SK" href="http://localhost/sk">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-ES" href="http://localhost/es">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="sv-SE" href="http://localhost/sv">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="tr-TR" href="http://localhost/tr">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="uk-UA" href="http://localhost/uk">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="vi-VN" href="http://localhost/vi">

I want remove languages that are not needed. I want these links to be removed as this is not the good practice for SEO. I want a default language for a theme. I tried adding translations.disabled=true in the portal-ext file but this didnt worked.

Your any suggestions are appreciated.

You have to restricted to the locales you want to use, adding the "locales" property to portal-ext.porperties. To restrict it to englisch and german for example, you can do this

locales=en_US,de_DE
