How to remove language markers from LinkedIn posts?

  • Hello everyone, I have a problem when I try posting my articles on LinkedIn and I’ve been told it could be related to how WP Multilang works. When I add my article’s URL into the LinkedIn post window, the system automatically loads the image and title of the article, but the title is shown with language markers [:it] and [:], for example:

    [:it]Il gergo della mixology[:] | Traduzioni italiano inglese

    I’d attach a screenshot but file uploading is disabled. As you may have gathered I’m a newbee at WordPress and don’t know much about plugins.

    Can anyone help me get rid of the language markers?

  • Same problem. Has anyone managed to fix it?

    Hey!

    WP Multilang stores all translations of the title in the title field of a post. That said, the title need’s to be filtered, to use the correct language (or the standard one).

    When LinkedIn grabs your site, I assume, it gets the title, image etc. from the header of your website, maybe some OpenGraph tags or other meta tags. It seem’s, that your website uses the raw title of your site in the website head, not the filtered one.

    The solution is, to examine, which plugin (or the wordpress core itself) generates the meta tags (maybe Yoast SEO or similar plugins). This plugin (or wordpress by itself) has to be configured, to put filtered titles in the meta tags. This depends on your site configuration – there is no general how-to.

    Hope that helps to point in the right direction.

    Best, Jan
