Background of the issue:
After using the WPML plugin, almost all our pages are no longer indexed in Google. We suspect that this has to do with geotargeting, where we only used your plugin.
Symptoms:
Dutch pages that are indexed are redirected to the English version.
Questions:
Are you aware of this problem?
Do you have a solution for it?
I reviewed the entire conversation you had with my colleague Waqas and understood the issue. While checking the WPML debug info, I found that the Browser language redirect feature of WPML is enabled on your site. This feature redirects the user to the site language if it matches the user's browser language settings.
When you enable this option, you may encounter some issues in the Search Console as Google will interpret it as a redirect to another URL. For more information on how the Browser Language Redirect affects Google Search Console and what to do in this case, I recommend checking the guide below:
I hope this guide provides clear information on how to proceed. If you have any other questions or require clarification, please feel free to let me know. I will be happy to help.
Best regards,
Prosenjit
