WPML SEO Multilingual v5.1.0 Fixed in 5.1.0
This release fixes the title, description and address of translated term archives when Yoast SEO builds them outside the WordPress admin.
Translated term archives
Yoast SEO’s scheduled rebuild and its command line command now build a translated term archive from the translated term, instead of the source term.
A second one-time repair clears a Yoast SEO value that WPML SEO 5.0.0 stored on a translated term when it matches your string translation, so a later edit in String Translation reaches the term archive again.
Every term is marked for re-indexing after the update, so Yoast SEO rebuilds the archives that an earlier run built from the source term.
Also in this release
WPML SEO no longer writes deprecation notices to the debug log on PHP 8.4.

Yoast SEO and Rank Math term meta fields, including category and taxonomy data, now stay correctly synced and indexed when you edit and translate terms.
Yoast SEO term meta fields served from the translation are now locked in the secondary-language admin.
Category slugs now translate correctly when Rank Math’s “Remove parent slugs” option is enabled.
Author archives and schema

Also in this release
