Translate meta description Rank Math

Problem:
We would like to translate the meta description with WPML but if we follow the Rank Math Guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/multilingual-seo-wpml/#num-11-3-how-to-translate-the-meta-description-or-titles-of-rank-math-plugin, we’re unable to translate the meta description and title. Are we doing something wrong?

Solution:
Please try the following steps:

1. Go to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields translation
2. Set the following fields to "Translate"

- rank_math_description
- rank_math_title

3. Edit the original post/page where you add the meta description
4. Make a small change and save it
5. Update the translation

Mohamed Sayed	Hi Stijn, Thanks for contacting WPML support, I will be glad to help you. If you set the custom fields to "Copy Once" you'll need to edit them manually in the secondary language. In order to translate them with the WPML translation editor, please try this: 1. Go to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields translation 2. Set the following fields to "Translate" - rank_math_description - rank_math_title 3. Edit the original post/page where you add the meta description 4. Make a small change and save it 5. Update the translation Let me know please if that helps. Regards, Mohamed
