Snippet preview displays unexpected URL?

    Hello. I have used the WPML plugin to create a French duplicate of my site. The Yoast snippet preview on all of these pages does not display the correct French URL–it displays the English language URL. Here are two screenshots illustrating the discrepancy. Why is the Yoast snippet preview not displaying the French URL?

    Thanks in advance.

    OK thanks for that. I think the fact that this is an open bug indicates that the snippet preview is displaying an incorrect URL–that actual Google search results will display the expected URL (French URL in this case). That is my main concern. Can you confirm that?

    edit: Maybe a fairer question to you is, “What URL *should* the snippet preview display in my case?”

    You are right, the snippet preview is for your eyes only, so Google will crawl the correct URL (the one shown in the WordPress URL editor which includes the French folder /fr/).
