I think I'm missing something here. Maybe something from your post got removed. What shows incorrectly? When I check this page hidden link, I see the canonical link like this, hidden link. Please see the attached screenshot. This points to the original product in Dutch, your site's default language. So, it looks fine to me. Am I missing something? Regards, Itamar.

jaapd-2	Hi Itamar, See the screenrecording. hidden link The English canonical has been set to hidden link? but when visiting the category page in English it shows the NL canonical. It should be the EN one. Hope this clarifies the issue. Cheers, Jaap

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi Jaap, and thanks a lot for the video! I'm not an SEO expert, but in my mind, the translated English and German category pages should point to the original Dutch category page. In practice, this is what happens, so I think the outcome is the correct one. Can you please explain why you expect to see the English category page points to itself? Did you insert this link in the Yoast settings? Regards, Itamar.

jaapd-2	Hi Itamar, I got this issue from the marketing company who does SEO for my customer. They have inserted canonical link in Yoast settings for the English page. Can you verify with your colleagues? Marketing company says the EN version should have the EN canonical. Cheers, Jaap
