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

Problem:
You are wondering how to activate Yoast SEO translation when using WPML.
Solution:
If you're using WPML's Advanced Translation Editor to translate your posts and pages, you can automatically translate SEO meta titles and descriptions. The Advanced Translation Editor features a translation memory that automatically applies translations for similar SEO content across multiple posts or pages, without requiring additional credits.
For translating global SEO settings like the homepage meta title and description, you need to do this manually through WPML >> String Translation. We recommend following the steps outlined in our guides:

Hey there,

We hope you are using WPML's Advanced Translation Editor to translate your posts and pages. If so, you will be able to translate the SEO meta titles and descriptions automatically. The Advanced Translation Editor has translation memory. If multiple posts or pages use similar SEO content, the system will automatically apply the translation without using additional credits.

However, for global SEO settings (like homepage meta title and description), you will need to translate them manually from WPML >> String Translation, as explained in this guide:

Please review these steps and let us know your feedback.

If you are still having issues, share a few screenshots to help us better understand your setup and provide more specific guidance.
