mikeC-25	Background of the issue: I am trying to manage the page titles on my WordPress site using WPML. Specifically, I am working on the page hidden link and I want to remove the language name that appears before and after the title. Symptoms: The page title has [French] at both the beginning and end of the title on all my translation pages. Questions: Why is the language name appearing before and after the page title? How can I remove the language name from the page titles on my translation pages?

Did you previously use a different translation or multilingual plugin on your website? Before a member of our team is available to assist you on this matter, it would be very helpful if you could send us the WPML information for troubleshooting. More information about this here: https://wpml.org/de/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ Best regards Andreas

Create a backup of your website. Or better approach will be to test this on a copy/staging version of the website to avoid any disruption of a live website. - Go to "WordPress Dashboard > Plugins" and deactivate all plugins except WPML and its add-ons. - Check if you can still recreate the issue. - If not, re-activate your plugins one by one and check the issue each time to find out the plugin that causes the problem. Thanks.

mikeC-25	You said the [French] is added by Rank Math?

Christopher Amirian WPML Supporter since 07/2020 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hi there, Usually, the title of the meta (The one you see on the tab of the browser) is added by SEO plugins. I checked and saw that you have the RankMath SEO plugin. But I asked you to follow the steps to check all the possible plugins to know which one is adding that option there. Thanks.
