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

Problem:
The client's homepage has been translated from English to Italian and Spanish. While the Italian and English versions work correctly, the Spanish version displays the title in English in social shares, despite being translated and saved in Spanish.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend installing the WPML SEO addon if you haven't already, as it is required for proper integration with Yoast SEO. After installation, make a minor edit to your default language page, save it, and then re-translate the page. For detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on Using WordPress SEO with WPML.

This solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
Our homepage has been translated from English (default) to Italian and Spanish. We have added translation for the SEO text for both languages using WPML editor. For Italian and English (default), the page performs perfectly. But for Spanish, the title displays in English, despite the fact we have translated it and saved it in Spanish. Here are the page links: hidden link, hidden link, hidden link

Symptoms:
The page share image appears but not the title text. Title text for Spanish remains in English. We have tested this on a social preview app and LinkedIn and the results are identical.

Questions:
Can you help us to get social page share working on staging/es?

Hello,

thanks for contacting us.

I can not access your ES page, so I can not see what is wrong. But I see you have been using Yoast SEO but not our addon plugin which is required, WPML SEO.

Please install it, make a small change to your default language page, save and re-translate the page.

Please check next guide for more info:
