Problem: The client is using WPML and wants to tag SEO content in the exported files for translation, either as additional metadata or specifically for SEO. The exported files for translation only have a trans_unit for all content, and the client cannot identify SEO content separately. They inquired about configuring WPML to tag SEO content in the exported translation files and whether additional plugins could be used.
Solution: We advised the client that for SEO data to be translatable, they need to use compatible SEO plugins along with our addon plugin, WPML SEO. Once these are in place, SEO data/fields added to the page will be available for translation when translating the page. General SEO strings and other related content can be translated via WPML String Translation. We provided a documentation link for further guidance on using WordPress SEO with WPML: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/using-wordpress-seo-with-wpml/.
If this solution does not fully address your issue, or if it seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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 further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
