-Rosey URL locale files can contain translated URLs for your website in a given language.
+Rosey provides some options for managing URLs.
+Rosey can ignore some URLs altogether, and Rosey URL locale files can contain translated URLs for your website in a given language.
If you just want to move one language to the root of the site, e.g. serve `/en/index.html` at `index.html` instead, see the
[Default language at root](/docs/build/#default-language-at-root) option for Rosey's build step.
+## Telling Rosey to ignore URLs
+
+If you have a URL on a page that you do not want Rosey to rewrite, you can add the `data-rosey-ignore` attribute to it.
+
+```html
+ Posts
+
+ Contact
+```
+
+When built to a page in an `fr` locale, the first tag would link to `/fr/posts/`, while the tag with `data-rosey-ignore` would remain pointing at `/contact/`.
+
## Creating translated URL locale files
Creating URL locale files is not a step performed by Rosey. This part of the translation workflow is left open ended, usually integrating into an existing translation workflow for a company, or being programmatically created by transforming the input URLs.
