Hi Ton,

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and please don't apologize, your frustration is completely understandable, and your feedback is genuinely valuable.

The detail you've described is very helpful: the cross-language contamination of term names and slugs showing up in the wrong admin views, and the knock-on effect on Yoast SEO canonical URLs — that's a serious issue and I want to make sure it's not brushed aside. I'll be sharing this specific scenario directly with the team as it paints a clear picture of the problem even without a video recording.

What I can tell you is that there are open development tickets actively being worked on in this area, and the description you've provided, particularly around term/slug contamination across languages will help move things along.

Thank you again for sticking with us and for the detailed explanation.

To be quite transparent that best way would be to provide us with the screenrecording as discussed earlier which would allow our team to investigate the issue you are specifically experiencing.

That way we will have an open development ticket tied to your account and you will get a direct answer.

In order for our team to move forward though they do need to be able to reproduce it.

Along with the clear steps to reproduce we would also need a package from the site (preferably using Duplicator) which then would truly allow us to test for an edge case that could have been missed.

Do you think you could help us get these 2 items ? Beyond that our team should have everything we need.
