I need to translate meta title and description on some specific pages.
For example, Date archives.
For this features I`m using Yoast SEO plugin, fill field meta title and description, than search this text in String Translation and add translation.
But on front end I still see title and description from default language, not translated.
I have this trouble on prod and dev site.
Can u help me with this issue?

Hello,

The String Translation is only used to translate global SEO information.

The SEO information of your content is getting translated together with the content when being translated with the WPML Translation Editor.

If you are not using the WPML Translation Editor for the content, then you need to edit the fields on your translated content directly inside Yoast's section of the WordPress Editor.

Could you please give this a revision and let me know if further assistance is needed?

Best regards
Andreas

Thank you for reply.
I will provide some screenshots.
As you can see on screenshots, I fill seo meta title and description, then find it in String Translation and add translation. On general pages this working as expected, but on some specific pages (as Date archive, like on screenshots), meta title and description showing only in default language.

Hello,

I would like to offer to have a closer look at the problem and request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate this issue further.

You can find the required fields below the comment section when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, which means only you and I can see and access it.

IMPORTANT
Please be sure to make a backup copy of the website and database before allowing us access.
If you can't see the wp-admin / FTP fields, your post and website credentials are set as PUBLIC. DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.

I may have to install a plugin called "All In One WP Migration" to make a copy of the website where I can investigate the issue further.

However, I would also be very grateful if you could provide a staging site or copy of the website from your server yourself for this purpose.

If you have any questions about creating such a staging site, you can consult your hosting provider. Just take note that WPML should be registered on this site again.

If you are unable to provide such a copy of the site for testing, please let me know on this ticket.

The private response form looks like this:
