robP	Hi! Our development website hidden link (user: dev / pwd: letmein) use WPML. The /academy/ page is an archive page for a Custom Post Type. However, the language dropdown do not show other available languages. We have already translated the strings from the theme. Another issue, we do use Yoast SEO for inserting meta title and descriptions. I do not find where I can set up a specific meta description for a CPT archive page.

Yvette Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Paris (GMT+02:00)	Hello 1. Have you translated any of the CPTs that this archive lists? I selected some of the entries from the archive and they were all only existing in one language. The dropdown will only appear if there is something to show in the other language. 2. How did you define the CPT - using a plugin? using code? Thanks

robP	Hi Yvette, Yes we have translated posts. The issue has been resolved on many pages, except for those custom taxonomy posts. For example if you go there: hidden link the WPML language switcher doesn't display additional languages. However, if you manually go to hidden link you'll see that one post has been translated. This custom taxonomy has been created using the CPT UI plugin.

Yvette Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Paris (GMT+02:00)	Hello You had set the "Level" taxonomy to be "not translatable" (see image) I set this to Translatable and now you can see the languages. Seems like this was previous set to be translatable.
