This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
My website is translated into 2 languages Icelandic (Default) and English.

When searching for my website on google only the English translation of the website shows up in the search results.

How can I fix this problem?

I already tried disabling the browser language redirect
Solution:
I'm afraid that we don't have much control over that.

Please go to WPML -> Languages and make sure the option "Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality" is enabled. At the same time, also try to activate this option, they might help: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/enabling-language-cookie-to-support-ajax-filtering/

Hey there,

When did you disable the browser language redirect option?

Sometimes it can take weeks for Google to recrawl your site and update the results.

I'm afraid that we don't have much control over that.

Please go to WPML -> Languages and make sure the option "Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality" is enabled. At the same time, also try to activate this option, they might help: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/enabling-language-cookie-to-support-ajax-filtering/
