I'm stuck with WPML+Yoast SEO on a website everything is translated in 2 languages even in page source the description and title is translated but in google searches google is messing up like for a spanish user it should show the spanish title and description.

Maybe due to canonical and alternate tags its not honoring the request? Can anyone help?

Update: Have submitted new sitemap but still in google searches its the same output

Thanks

• 1 Perhaps Google is just showing an older index (the site got indexed before you set up your Yoast translations). Add the site as a property to the Google Search Console and request re-indexing manually. Also, fix any warnings and errors Google displays if there are any. – Kristián Filo Commented Dec 19, 2019 at 13:23
• Yeah i already done adding that property to search console, i think it would be better to re index and maybe it will be better. i will keep posted. – Saif Ali Commented Dec 19, 2019 at 13:26

• also i just saw that google search console had shibaku.ch/sitemap.xml instead the yoast generated sitemap which was shibaku.ch/sitemap_index.xml – Saif Ali Commented Dec 19, 2019 at 14:00

1 Answer 1

When have you done the translation? Google chaches the information of your site, means a chance of your site take time till google-crawler was there again and noticed the change and write a new chache...so changes can take till some weeks till google shows the new version...
