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

Problem:

You are using Yoast SEO with WPML to manage SEO headlines and meta descriptions in Swedish, and have translated them using string translation. However, the default Swedish translations randomly change to other languages, and the Swedish translation disappears.

Solution:

First, ensure you have a full site backup before proceeding with any changes. We recommend trying the workaround suggested in a related support ticket, which addresses a similar issue with string translations. You can find the workaround here: WPML support forum.

Additionally, the fix for this bug will be included in the upcoming WPML 4.8 version, which is currently in development. Until then, please continue using the workaround.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If needed, please open a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML support forum.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

Hi.
The last change seems to have done it. I have waited a few days and it still looks good.
How will this impact updates?

Or will this be fixed in future versions?

Kind regards
