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

Problem:

You are trying to translate all meta titles and descriptions on your site using Yoast SEO and WPML, but are unsure how to proceed.

Solution:

First, ensure you are using WPML's Advanced Translation Editor for translating your posts and pages, as it automatically translates SEO meta titles and descriptions using translation memory.

For translating global SEO settings like the homepage meta title and description, you need to do this manually through WPML >> String Translation. Follow the detailed steps in these guides:

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to assist you in resolving the issue.

To help you faster, I have enabled the option to share debug information in this ticket. Please follow the steps in this link to provide it:

We hope you are using WPML's Advanced Translation Editor to translate your posts and pages. If so, you will be able to translate the SEO meta titles and descriptions automatically. The Advanced Translation Editor has translation memory. If multiple posts or pages use similar SEO content, the system will automatically apply the translation without using additional credits.

However, for global SEO settings (like homepage meta title and description), you will need to translate them manually from WPML >> String Translation, as explained in this guide:

https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/using-wordpress-seo-with-wpml/#translating-global-seo-texts

https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/

Please review these steps and let us know your feedback.

If you are still having issues, share a few screenshots to help us better understand your setup and provide more specific guidance.
