WPML can translate all on-page SEO attributes. This includes:
Page titles
Meta descriptions
Breadcrumbs
Image ALT and captions
Permalinks
And more…
WPML currently doesn’t support custom permalink features for translation. For example, using the Rank Math setting to remove a category base from URLs will cause them to not be translated properly. Before you decide to use this setting, check out our workaround for removing a category base from URLs or contact our support.
To translate on-page SEO attributes with WPML, simply send your content for translation. WPML translates attributes along with the page or post they’re associated with.

Translate Taxonomy Metadata
When translating a post, WPML also translates attached taxonomies. This includes any SEO attributes you added in Rank Math’s snippet for each taxonomy term (like meta title and meta description).
Adding a category’s meta title and meta description with Rank Math
If you modify a taxonomy’s metadata in the original language — or want to translate taxonomies that aren’t attached to any post — go to WPML → Taxonomy Translation to update translations.

Translate Global SEO Texts
To translate global SEO texts, like the breadcrumbs’ homepage label, follow these steps:
Go to WPML → Translation Management.
Scroll down to the Other texts (Strings) section and search for your texts.
Select your texts and send them for translation.
How Sitemaps Work With WPML
By default, WPML automatically creates additional sitemaps for each language on your website. This ensures Google can easily understand your website’s organization, and properly serve the right page version in each language.
WPML handles multilingual sitemaps and hreflang tags automatically. You don’t need to take any action.
