[Resolved] Pages translated are not indexed by Google Search Console

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

Problem:
The client's translated pages are not being indexed by Google, and the Google Search Console indicates a 'Page with redirect' error. This issue is likely due to WPML's language redirect settings.
Solution:
1. Navigate to WordPress → WPML → Languages → Language URL format. Check if it is set to 'Different domains' or if there is a redirect causing a loop, such as from anantamassage.com/fr to anantamassage.com/fr/.
2. Go to WPML → Languages → Browser language redirect. If this setting is ON, turn it OFF. This setting might cause redirects based on the browser language, which Google interprets as a redirect, leading to the indexing issue.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, or if the information seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Additionally, 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. For further assistance, please visit our support forum at WPML Support Forum.

English Main language Home page is Indexed, but translation are not:
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link

And same for all other pages, posts, event, faqs.. translated with WPML

Here what AI Claude says about it:

The Google Search Console issue — "Page with redirect"
Looking at your source I can see the problem. Your /fr/ and /es/ homepages are set as redirects in Google's eyes because of this in the source:
html
But the canonical points to /fr/ correctly. The redirect issue is likely caused by WPML's language redirect settings.

Check this now:
Go to WordPress → WPML → Languages → Language URL format
You likely have it set to "Different domain" or there's a redirect from anantamassage.com/fr → anantamassage.com/fr/ causing a redirect loop that Google detects.

Also check:
WPML → Languages → Browser language redirect
If this is ON → turn it OFF
This setting redirects visitors based on browser language, which Google's crawler interprets as a redirect, causing exactly the "Page with redirect" error you're seeing in Search Console.
Tell me what you find in those WPML settings. Sonnet 4.6

The chat was disconnected that is why I moved it to this ticket.

My latest answer:

The sitemap generation is done by RankMath but I am not sure how you can force it to regenerate the sitemap. If you contact them, they will give a better idea of what to do.

Please consider that the reply time for tickets is longer than chat.

Thanks.

Thanks, according to AI Claude: "Looking at your source I can see the problem. Your /fr/ and /es/ homepages are set as redirects in Google's eyes because of this in the source:

html
<html lang="fr-FR">

But the canonical points to /fr/ correctly. The redirect issue is likely caused by WPML's language redirect settings.

You likely have it set to "Different domain" or there's a redirect from anantamassage.com/fr → anantamassage.com/fr/ causing a redirect loop that Google detects.

Can you confirm that?

Thanks

Hi,

AI agents do their best to give relevant information, but their suggestions are general and not specific.

No you do not have any settings and redirection issues on your WPML installation.

I checked the debug information and you use the sub-directory mode which is completely normal and how WPML works.

So /fr/ and /es/ sub-directories are what should be.

Thanks.
