vadimP	Background of the issue: I am trying to ensure that pages with translations on my site hidden link are indexed by Google. I am using WPML for translations. Symptoms: Pages with translations are not indexed by Google. There is a discrepancy between the URLs for the French translation of a product page, with one URL using 'product' and the other using 'produit'. Questions: How can I resolve the issue of translated pages not being indexed by Google? What steps should I take to address the URL discrepancy for translated product pages?

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thank you for reaching out to WPML support. While one of my colleagues prepares to assist you further, let me try to address your issue promptly. Please note that WPML does not include any settings to prevent a page from being indexed. This functionality is likely managed by your SEO plugin. After reviewing your debug information, I see that you are using Rank Math SEO, which is fully compatible with WPML, as confirmed here: https://wpml.org/plugin/rank-math-seo/ . I recommend checking the "Useful Resources" section on the page above and verifying your plugin configuration to ensure everything is set up correctly and not contributing to the issue you’re experiencing with Google Search.
