RankMath - Rank Math Schema Values Are Not Translated

Overview of the issue

When using Rank Math SEO with WPML, the content of the Rank Math rich snippet shortcode [rank_math_rich_snippet id="..."] will not be translated.

Workaround

Step 1: Make the fields translatable

1. Go to „WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration“.
2. Add the following and click „Save“.

   <wpml-config>
     <custom-fields>
       <custom-field action="translate">rank_math_schema_HowTo</custom-field>
       <custom-field action="translate">rank_math_schema_Article</custom-field>
       <custom-field action="translate">rank_math_schema_SoftwareApplication</custom-field>
     </custom-fields>
     <custom-fields-texts>
       <key name="rank_math_schema_HowTo">
         <key name="name" />
         <key name="description" />
       </key>
       <key name="rank_math_schema_SoftwareApplication">
         <key name="headline" />
         <key name="description" />
         <key name="review">
           <key name="negativeNotes">
             <key name="itemListElement">
               <key name="*">
                 <key name="name" />
               </key>
             </key>
           </key>
           <key name="positiveNotes">
             <key name="itemListElement">
               <key name="*">
                 <key name="name" />
               </key>
             </key>
           </key>
         </key>
       </key>
       <key name="rank_math_schema_Article">
         <key name="headline" />
         <key name="description" />
       </key>
     </custom-fields-texts>
   </wpml-config>
           

3. Do a small modification to the original page and save.
4. Translate the page.

Step 2: Adjust the shortcode or use the Rank Math block

• The shortcode [rank_math_rich_snippet id="..."] includes a unique ID.
• Use [rank_math_rich_snippet] shortcode instead (without the id attribute).
• Alternatively, use the Schema by RankMath block.
