302 redirect with languages vs search engines

Hello, I noticed , when I have 2 (or more) languages site and if for each language I set up different currency, my site WILL NOT be indexed by search engines (only pages with default language will be indexed), because when I try to switch to another language I get 302 temporary redirection.

Yes. And so you can't use link to your shop with setting currency or language.
I do not understand why this is done, so all my sites I deleted this redirect in init_currencies.php.

//  if (isset($_GET['currency']) || isset($_GET['language'])) zen_redirect(zen_href_link($current_page_base, zen_get_all_get_params(array('currency','language'))));
