jackQ	Tell us what you are trying to do? I noticed in Google Search Console, there are many page indexing issue "Page with redirect", the URLs are all without langugage directory in the path. But I have set up the langugaes in subdirectory, and they are working. I dont know where Google got those URLs. Blog url: hidden link

Let's try the following to get more information. In the Google Search Console, go to the "Links" report. Then look if you have any internal links to "hidden link" Please update me on what you find.

Are you linking to this specific page from another place in your site? I am focusing specifically on this page in order to try to understand if there is an incorrect link on your site, which may apply to the rest of the redirected links. Finally, I noticed you do not have WPML SEO. Please make sure to use it and have all the SEO attributes translated correctly. You can make use of our documentation here: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/optimize-multilingual-websites-using-rank-math-and-wpml/
