Google discriminates Joomfish languages

This forum talks about everything related to SEF/SEO extensions and Joom!Fish
Forum rules
When you use a 3rd party SEF extension, you need to turn off JFrouter. The SEF extension should take care of the routing of your URL's

First check if you are running the latest available versions of Joomla! (1.5.18), Joom!Fish (2.0.4) and the SEF extension you're having problems with.

We need the following at least (you can find this in your Joomla! backend under help > system info):

* Joomla! version
* Joom!Fish version
* SEF-Extension version
* PHP version (e.g. 5.2.5). Note: The support for PHP4 is discontinued.
* Web Server software (Apache or IIS with version number if possible)
* Server Operating system (e.g. Linux, Windows, Solaris, Darwin ...)
* Webserver to PHP interface
* Database version
* memory_limit from your phpinfo

Finally, please describe the steps required to recreate the problem and also please enable error reporting and give us any error messages generated.

Google discriminates Joomfish languages

If this doesn't belong here please excuse-moi or move it. I think it has to do with different things: Sobi2, Joomfish, SEO, etc.

I have a website with 2 languages, English is default and Spanish is translated with Joomfish (This after I modified the whole site, before it was the other way around).

I recently (over a week) created a new page called "Bilingual Housing Glossary". This page started appearing in google search very quickly when looking for "Housing Glossary" and adding "Bilingual" or ".cl" in advanced search to reduce scope. But if I did (and still do) a search with the Spanish counterpart "Glosario de Vivienda" either with or without the scope reducing terms, Google finds absolutely nothing.

With my older pages Google finds pages in both languages (even bits of body text), so it gives me the idea that it's just a question of time.
I have links to both versions in my sitemap, I have sent both index pages to googlebot, but no change.
Do you know why this happens? Is there some way to get Google to retrieve the Spanish version as quickly as the default version?

Thanks.
