Clarify "Google Scholar will not index multilingual articles in OJS" #1049

Description

@fgnievinski

While reading the guide on Using PKP Software in Multiple Languages, I came across the following remark:

  1. Google Scholar has also stated ... it will not index multilingual articles in OJS because the article language is not indicated in the URL

It seems to contradict a related remark in the guide on Google Scholar indexing guidelines and resources for OJS

  1. If an article is published in multiple languages, Google Scholar will only index the primary language.

Remark 1 gives the impression multilingual articles will not be indexed at all, while remark 2 states only the secondary languages will be ignored.
