[Feature Request] Make Yoast SEO Breadcrumbs Translatable with Polylang and WPML

[Pcosta88]

The Yoast SEO Premium Breadcrumbs are not translatable.

1.Add Yoast SEO Premium Breadcrumbs

2.With PolyLang Create a post in Spanish

3.See on frontend that breadcrumbs such as Home not translated

4.With WPML create a post in Dutch

4.See on FrontEnd that Breadcrumbs such as Home not translated

We should make them translatable.

NOTE:
1. The categories that appear in the breadcrumb pathway can be configured in the SEO-Advanced-Breadcrumb section.

2. To make the categories appear as "translated" you would need to create the categories in that language on the backend.

3.However, "home" should be translated.

Specs
WordPress: 4.8
Yoast: 4.8
Polylang 2.1.5
WPML: 3.5.3.1

Is there any updates on this, the referenced WPML support thread was started 5 years ago!

We are having this problem on multiple client sites and is, therefore, getting bug reports about this at least every second month.

This does not have our immediate attention or priority to implement. We do welcome any attempt to add this as a functionality through a PR.

after updating to yoast 14.2 i have different languages breadcrumbs with wrong translations, it was ok before the update. tried with multilanguage yoast plugin and without it. using suggested xml:

<wpml-config>
    <admin-texts>
        <key name="wpseo_titles">
            <key name="breadcrumbs-404crumb"/>
            <key name="breadcrumbs-archiveprefix"/>
            <key name="breadcrumbs-home"/>
            <key name="breadcrumbs-prefix"/>
            <key name="breadcrumbs-searchprefix"/>
            <key name="breadcrumbs-sep"/></key>
    </admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

Any ideas? Can it be fixed?

Same problem, breadcrumbs from custom post-type do not translate

[ehnsio]

Using polylang and having the same issue, would be a nice feature.
I did a workaround to fetch the page title and url of the translated page in the correct current language.

function replace_lang_breadcrumbs($crumbs)
{
	// Get the last breadcrumb
	$last_crumb = end($crumbs);

	// Extract language code from the last breadcrumb URL
	preg_match('/\/([a-zA-Z\-_]+)\//', $last_crumb['url'], $matches);
	$current_language = isset($matches[1]) ? $matches[1] : '';

	foreach ($crumbs as $index => $crumb) {
		// Check if the breadcrumb corresponds to the current language
		if (!pll_is_translated_post_type($crumb['id'])) {
			// Get the translation of the page using the ID
			$translated_post_id = pll_get_post($crumb['id'], $current_language);
			if ($translated_post_id) {
				// Get the translated post title and permalink
				$translated_post_title = get_the_title($translated_post_id);
				$translated_post_permalink = get_permalink($translated_post_id);

				// Replace the breadcrumb with the translated post title and permalink
				$crumbs[$index]['url'] = $translated_post_permalink;
				$crumbs[$index]['text'] = $translated_post_title;
			}
		}
	}
	return $crumbs;
}

add_filter('wpseo_breadcrumb_links', 'replace_lang_breadcrumbs', 10, 1);
