Hello,
I’ve some issues with Breadcrumbs managed by Yoast SEO with the combination of WPML.
I’ve found different articles and topics about Breadcrumbs which were not translated but my problem is different and concerning me also.
I have 3 languages set up with WPML: English (which is the main language), French and German.
In the configuration of Yoast SEO:
SEO > Search Appearance > Breadcrumbs > Anchor text for the Homepage
I have set “Home” when I’m in the English language.
If I switch languages here, it will be written “Home” for French and German and if I update in the other languages, it will overwrite the English.
Until here it’s fine, it’s the “normal” behaviour.
Then in WPML > String Translation > [wpseo_titles]breadcrumbs-home
I’ve translated
French: Accueil
German: Startseite
Until here it’s still good
When I go then on my website as visitor (without be logged) or someonelse, when I’m in English I see well “Home” in breadcrumbs. And when I switch to French or German, the languages of the pages and the breadcrumbs are well translated in the correspondant language.
Nevertheless it seems that just the fact to switch language on the website is overwritten the configuration of Yoast because if I selected for example German:
* SEO > Search Appearance > Breadcrumbs > Anchor text for the Homepage, it’s not anymore “Home” written here but “Startseite”
* WPML > String Translation > [wpseo_titles]breadcrumbs-home
The english word is “Startseite” and it’s asking to update translation for German and French
Somehow if only the breadcrumbs are not displaid properly in the good language it’s a little ugly but I can live with it. But the fact that based on user action it’s changing the configuration on the website, I’m a little more worried.
Thank you in advance for your help
Best regards
