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

Problem:
The client has translated all Yoast SEO terms into French and sees all tags in taxonomies translated in WPML. However, on the site's dashboard under Posts->Taxonomies, while the tags show a translated title in French, the Yoast Title and meta description remain empty. Additionally, in the 'admin_texts_wpseo_titles' domain, only 61 untranslated results appear, despite having hundreds of tags, and filtering results to 'tags' yields zero results.
Solution:
1. We recommend checking if the translation of Yoast SEO titles and descriptions is correctly configured in WPML. This involves verifying that the string translation for 'admin_texts_wpseo_titles' is properly set up and includes all necessary tags.
2. Ensure that the WPML String Translation module is updated and properly scanning the strings related to Yoast SEO.
3. If the issue persists, it might be due to a configuration or compatibility issue that requires further investigation. We suggest opening a new support ticket for personalized assistance.

Background of the issue:
I have translated all the Yoast SEO terms in French. I see all my tags in taxonomies WPML translated. However, when I visit my site's dashboard, Posts->Taxonomies, I see all tags have translated Title in French but Yoast Title and meta description in French is empty. I have also checked the domain "admin_texts_wpseo_titles", I see only 61 untranslated results but my tags are hundreds, not 61. Filtering the results to "tags" I get zero results.

Symptoms:
Yoast Title and meta description in French are empty despite tags being translated.

Questions:
Why are the Yoast Title and meta description in French empty despite the tags being translated?
Why do I see only 61 untranslated results when my tags are in the hundreds?
Why do I get zero results when filtering to 'tags'?
