Hi, before there was a warning message, about possible issue with indexing of website if Browser language redirect funcion is ON.

Now I dont see any, does it mean this issue was solved, and I can now set Browser language redirect, and all languages will be indexed correctly by search engines?

Hello,

when you click to choose the option, a popup message appears with the same warning about the issues.

The issue still happens, as it is not up to WPML, Google follows redirect as regular user and gets redirected to other languages.

You can read more in the following page:

- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/automatic-redirect-based-on-browser-language/how-browser-language-redirect-affects-google-indexing/

Let us know if any other questions.

Regards,
Drazen
