Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi Vincent, I'm Osama from WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today. First of all, sorry for the late reply; it was due to a higher workload. I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated. Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it. ❌ Please backup your database and website ❌ ✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical. ✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site. Best regards, Osama

vincentW-14	Good morning. I just tried to change the names back to dutch but after a few seconds they change back to french. I think it has something to do with the string translations. Where I expect text in Dutch it shows text in French.

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi Vincent, Thanks for the access details. I kept the French strings in Yoast-> Settings and translated them to Dutch via WPML-> String Translation. Would you please visit the 404 page and check if the strings appear correctly according to the language? Best regards, Osama

vincentW-14	Dear, Can you explain why it needs to be done this way? Since the website is in Dutch, I would expect that the Yoast SEO setting should be in Dutch and then translated to French like the rest of the website. This worries me that we are forgetting some translations somewhere? kr, Vincent
