It is showing like this instead of translating it from the English version. hidden link it should translate this. hidden link I hope it helps. Regards,

I'll be glad to help you today. 1) First of all, sorry for the late reply; it was due to a higher workload. Please check if you can translate the description using WPML-> String Translation. 2) Could you please share your Debug information with me? You can read a detailed explanation about it here. (http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support) The debug info will give me much information about how your site is configured. Best regards, Osama

Osama Mersal WPML Supporter since 02/2020 Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi, I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated. Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it. ❌ Please backup your database and website ❌ ✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical. ✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site. Best regards, Osama

The meta description string can be translated via WPML-> String Translation. (hidden link) Kindly check the following steps to know how to find the string: 1- Go to WPML-> String Translation 2- Scroll down and click on the "Translate texts in admin screens »" link 3- Search for the needed strings 4- Select the strings 5- Click on the "Add to String Translation" button 6- Then click on the "« Return to String Translation" link 7- Translate the strings, clear the cache, and check the front end Kindly check our guide to know more about translating texts in the admin texts screen. (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/) Alternatively, you can manually add the translation in the translated category edit screen. (hidden link) Best regards, Osama

Osama Mersal WPML Supporter since 02/2020 Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Thanks for your patience. I checked with our 2nd tier support team and compatibility team. I'm afraid that the metadata needs to be translated manually. It is a current WPML limitation. Best regards, Osama
