Why Google is showing same Description text for all website pages?

[Ozzman]

Hello all,

I recently implemented web page language translation bar in the header of my website. But Google is showing this language bar’s information on all website pages as description text in its SERPs instead of showing other page content related descriptions. I think it happed because I did not use Description Tag on my website and the language bar was also placed in the header part of my website. Its HTML code was starting text of Body Tag which was picked by Google bot and it changed description text of all those website pages where this language bar was used.

Now what do you suggest If I want using the language bar on the header and letting the bots choose the text/phrases automatically from website pages on any searched keywords?

Your suggestions and comments will be highly appreciated.

Before I can help I guess I have to ask a silly question, What is the "language bar"?
Could you also show the domain you are talking about?

Hello Google Junky,

The language bar is placed at page header which enables translating the current English page into other languages like: Russian, French, Chinese etc.

Hey Ozzman,

If you don't want to show the domain name here then PM it to me so I can take a look.

If you don't include a meta description tag, Google will do it's best to determine the focus of the page.

It stands to reason that you're seeing the same link decriptions because you've included the same elements in each page.

Add a meta description tag to every possible page.
