I have a problem since quite some time that when I google my services there is the swedish url coming up: patriciabohlen.se but the text is in english. It should be the metadescription in swedish not english. I do firmly believe that is the reason why my ranking is so bad suddenly once i translated with wpml.
related to this issue I originally had my main site in english .com (as I wanted to move abroad), but then changed it to swedish .se as I stayed in sweden. So the company managing all my website stuff said they changed my main language and site to .se in swedish.
Realted to that when I first translated my website with wpml (before the above, before i changed my main language and domain), i accidently translated some pages wrong. instead from english to swedish and german, I translated from swedish to english and german. so wpml (i think) is not worling properly. I don´t know. I think.
1. could you check or let me know if there is a problem and if the translation mistake I made is the reason why in google my site comes up as in the attached picture? the second picture (i think) will show the mistake of the swedish/english translation of some pages as the media shows different original languages (flags).
2. is there any easy way to correct that mistake of having different original or main languages? I can´t really find out which ones are affected. maybe you can?
i like google to show my .se domain with the swedish text. this was already there before I installed yoast seo plug in.
In the English version of the site /en/ under the treatment, I can see the text excerpt that is being used as the meta description.
"My services include osteopathy, trigger point/cupping massage, lymphatic drainage, and ayurvedic massage."
Important to note: We can give Google what to prioritize/use in that area, however, many times Google decides to pull content from our site they think ti's relevant to the search query.
The reason the search results are mixed is most likely because of the use of this feature from WPML "Browser language redirect"
Go to WPML->Languages->Browser Language Redirect and deactivate it.
