yoast breadcrumb string from custom post types not translated

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I can not find the correct place to translate the post type name. I'm using the plugin CPT UI - https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/

Solution: If you create the post types in CPT UI, you need to translate its strings related to CPT UI.

So far, to translate these strings, please follow our guide https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/ , section “Translating strings in the wp_options table”.

patrizio-romanoD	I am trying to: translate in english and french the first part of the yoast breadcrumb; URL of (my) website where problem appears: ITA hidden link ENG hidden link FRA hidden link I expected to see: ENG breadcrumbs like - Home / Awnings / Penthouse awnings Instead, I got: First I got ENG breadcrumbs like Home / tende da sole / Penthouse awnings Then I tried following this support thread https://wpml.org/forums/topic/breadcumb-is-not-translating/#post-886678 After putting translations on, that breadcrumb part completely disappeared this way: ENG - Home / Penthouse awnings Notes: you see duplicated breadcrumbs for debug reasons, as I used both original function and a shortcode function of mine, both not working anyway. Please see in attachment the String translation I made. Note also that deactivating the translation in string administration - see attachment - fixes the breadcrumb part vanished, but let it still to be translated.

Dat Hoang	Thanks for your info. It looks like you're translating the wrong string. Please don't translate the string like your screenshot above, it's the slug of post type, NOT the post type name. You should translate the string " tende da sole" (without dashes) in WPML -> String Translation. In the case you don't find this tring correctly. Please let me know how you define this custom post type?

patrizio-romanoD	Hi, thanks for your reply. As you suggested, I removed the slug string translation. At the moment the breadcrumb part is back, with no translation. Searching for 'tende da sole' in WPML -> String translation return as follows (please see attachment also): only one string matching, coming from the theme X, which was translated yet. I defined the custom post type via CPT UI plugin. Schermata 2016-09-14 alle 08.56.49.png
