Problem with meta description on Google
On Google, a meta description appears in Japanese, although only English and Serbian languages are installed on the site? Can someone help me how to solve this? And how did this even come to be.
The website is https://www.zasav.org.rs/.
Attached is a Google search view.

Re: Problem with meta description on Google
I don't see the above listing as you indicated.
This is what I see in Google:
This is more a question for Google as I don't think it's caused by Joomla at all.

Re: Problem with meta description on Google
You're probably right. Now I tried Bing and it shows normal there, while Google translates the results. Thanks.

Re: Problem with meta description on Google
Confirmed I get that as well. Strange thing is
zasav.org.rs also gets results for zasavica.org.rs
btw your url returns www.zasav.org.rs/sr/. As my browser is English surely it should default to English for me?

Re: Japanese keyword hack
This problem has been discussed numerous times on the forum and shouldn't be dismissed as "more a question for Google". The website has been hacked with the infamous Japanese keyword hack.

Thanks @sozzled have requested thread moved to security.
@poaro
Please see and action viewtopic.php?f=714&t=946026
The https://www.getastra.com/blog/911/japan ... word-hack/ link is informative but it fails in it's approach to cleaning the site. All folders/files need to be deleted not just the core files.

Re: Problem with meta description on Google
I see this:
<meta name="charset" content="UTF-8">
<meta name="Country" content="Srbija, Serbia, RS, SR">
<meta name="Language" content="Serbian, sr_RS">
<meta content='RS' name='geo.country'/>
or something similar.
Why don't u add this in your head:<meta name="charset" content="UTF-8">
<meta name="Country" content="Srbija, Serbia, RS, SR">
<meta name="Language" content="Serbian, sr_RS">
<meta content='RS' name='geo.country'/>
or something similar.
