[Resolved] If I configure a directory for the default language, does the website receive a SEO problem?

Problem:
You are developing a website and need to decide on the best configuration for the default language domain structure using WPML. You are considering whether the default domain should be in a language folder, like http://www.pippo.com/it, or if the default domain should point directly to the Italian language, with English having its own directory, like http://www.pippo.com/en. You are also concerned about potential SEO issues and the compatibility of Yoast SEO with WPML.
Solution:
If you configure a directory for the default language, it should not impact SEO negatively if you follow the guidelines provided by WPML. You can find detailed instructions on setting up a directory for the default language here.
