Problem: You are experiencing an issue where WPML is overriding the Yoast SEO fields for translated taxonomies, replacing Arabic SEO content with the default English content. This behavior is affecting the Focus keyphrase, Custom SEO title, and Meta description fields, causing a drop in rankings for Arabic pages. You need a solution that allows manual per-language editing of these fields without using WPML String Translation. Solution: This is a know issues which will be solved in a future update for WPML SEO. For now, we recommend downgrading WPML SEO to version 2.1.1 to restore the ability to manually set SEO content per language directly within each taxonomy page. This version does not force the default language values and allows for independent SEO strategies per language. You can find more details and the downgrade guide here: https://wpml.org/errata/wordpress-seo-issues-translating-yoast-seo-term-meta/.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.
