evgenyM	Dear WPML Support Team, I am writing to seek assistance with an issue I've encountered on my website regarding the translation of custom post types within Yoast SEO breadcrumbs. I have utilized Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for registering my custom post types, and I'm currently using Yoast SEO for generating breadcrumbs. My challenge lies in translating the names of these custom post types for the breadcrumb trails, specifically when displayed on single post pages. While I have managed to translate other elements within my site using WPML, the post type names within the breadcrumbs remain untranslated. I have followed the standard procedures for string translation within WPML but to no avail when it comes to the breadcrumbs on single post pages. This issue persists particularly for the post type name that appears in the breadcrumb trail. Could you please provide me with guidance on how to achieve these translations? Here is the specific scenario I am dealing with: The custom post types are registered using ACF. The breadcrumbs are generated using Yoast SEO. I need to translate the name of the custom post type that appears in the breadcrumbs on single post pages. I am looking for a solution that allows me to effectively translate these names while maintaining compatibility with both ACF and Yoast SEO. Thank you for your time and assistance. I am looking forward to your prompt response.
