Problem: You are unsure if your website's translated pages, managed with WPML, are being indexed by search engines, and you want to ensure that search engines like Google display the correct language version of your pages. Solution: If you're experiencing issues with search engines not indexing your translated pages or not displaying them in the correct language, it's important to first verify that your sitemap is correctly set up. WPML's role in SEO is to ensure that plugins like Yoast SEO are aware of the different language versions of your site. We have confirmed that WPML is correctly providing the necessary language information for your pages. However, issues related to the indexing of these pages by search engines like Google fall outside the direct capabilities of WPML. If you have recently submitted your sitemap to Google, please allow at least a day for changes to be reflected. For further assistance, we recommend contacting Yoast support or Google's support team to investigate why the pages are not being indexed as expected.
