Hello,

Did you follow this guide to translate breadcrumbs?
https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/using-wordpress-seo-with-wpml/#translate-breadcrumbs

Did you translate the global SEO texts on WPML > String Translation:
https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/using-wordpress-seo-with-wpml/#translate-global-seo-texts

Regarding this please also take note of the following known issues:

If further assistance is needed, please let me know.

Best regards

Hello,

I would like to offer to have a closer look at the problem and request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate this issue further.

You can find the required fields below the comment section when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, which means only you and I can see and access it.

IMPORTANT
Please be sure to make a backup copy of the website and database before allowing us access.
If you can't see the wp-admin / FTP fields, your post and website credentials are set as PUBLIC. DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.

I may have to install a plugin called "All In One WP Migration" to make a copy of the website where I can investigate the issue further.

However, I would also be very grateful if you could provide a staging site or copy of the website from your server yourself for this purpose.

If you have any questions about creating such a staging site, you can consult your hosting provider. Just take note that WPML should be registered on this site again.

If you are unable to provide such a copy of the site for testing, please let me know on this ticket.

The private response form looks like this:

Next time you reply, click "I still need assistance."

Please note that we are obliged to request this information individually on each ticket. We may not access any access information not specifically submitted on this ticket in the private response form.

Best regards

Hello,

I can see that the breadcrumb issue appears to be solved already.

For the second issue:

You need to go to:
hidden link

Here you see WPML > String Translation using the text domain:
admin_texts_wpseo_titles

First, you need to make sure to assign the German strings to the German source language, as German is your site's default language.

Guide:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/

I did this already.

Then translate all the strings on this text domain.

I have completed some of those translations for you now and it works as expected.

I went here:
hidden link

I made sure that each string is assigned to the source language:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/

I translate all strings.

Please test again and if you still run into issues, then please provide me an example content by link or naming the content title and type.

I have checked this but still shows the same error. We need assistance for setting default language to english and translate to different language when required. As you can see the same in the attached screenshot. The german page showing english content.

It is good if you can take a call with us and we can sort these issues quickly, because we are facing many issues because of language in the website. Our SEO is getting affected the most.

Please let me know for your availability for call.

I would suggest that you delete the original German strings from WPML > String Translation and inside Yoast instead you use English text, as English is the site's default language.
