yoast seo showing duplicate urls under sitemap

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

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where duplicated original urls are showing up instead of translated urls under the sitemap on their website. This problem affects pages, product pages, product categories, and product tags.
Solution:
We recommend using the WPML SEO plugin, which serves as a glue plugin ensuring full compatibility between WPML and Yoast SEO. This should resolve the issue of duplicated URLs in the sitemap and ensure that translated content appears correctly.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please feel free to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

raymondC-5	Background of the issue: I am trying to resolve an issue with my site hidden link where translated or duplicated content is not showing up under the sitemap. Instead, it shows duplicated URLs under the sitemap. This issue affects the entire sitemap, including pages, product pages, product categories, and product tags. I have read a few threads from support, disabled and re-enabled the Yoast SEO sitemap, and cleared the cache, but it doesn't work. Others have experienced the same issue, but the issue is marked as resolved without an explanation on how to fix it. Symptoms: Yoast SEO is showing duplicate URLs under the sitemap instead of translated or duplicated content. Questions: How can I fix the issue of duplicated URLs in the Yoast SEO sitemap? Why is translated or duplicated content not showing up under the sitemap?

I've activated a private field for your next answer where you can provide that information safely (this field is only visible by you and the support team). Don't share your own admin account, create a new one that you will delete when we finish troubleshooting.
