Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where the '&' symbol disappears from the translation after clicking the 'save' button in WPML, particularly when using the new Advanced Translation Editor, we can help. Solution: We recommend switching to the previous version of the translation editor. Here's how you can do it: 1. Go to the top right corner of the translation editor. 2. Click the gear icon. 3. Enable the option 'Use the previous version of the Advanced Translation Editor.' 4. Refresh the page and translate the sentence with the '&' symbol again. Rest assured, the translations you've added will remain saved and won't be impacted by switching to the previous Translation Editor. The translations are stored directly in your database and loaded in the editor from the database, so there is no risk of losing them.

Problem: You are using the YOAST SEO plugin to manage your sitemap and have noticed that several pages appear duplicated in the sitemap. You are wondering if this duplication could be due to the pages being translated. Solution: We do not generate different sitemap files for different directories. This is expected behavior when using WPML with the YOAST SEO plugin. If you require separate sitemaps for each language version, this will only be possible with a Multi-Domain setup or through custom development. You should not encounter any issues submitting your sitemap, which includes all language versions, at once to Google Search Console. There is no need to submit separate versions for each language.
