If you’re already on Yoast SEO, you don’t have to choose between your SEO plugin and your translation plugin. Lang Forge integrates natively with Yoast so every Yoast meta field is translatable, hreflang tags are injected correctly, and the sitemap covers every language.
Every time you translate a post, Lang Forge copies the Yoast metadata to the translated version, ready for editing:
_yoast_wpseo_title — SEO title_yoast_wpseo_metadesc — meta description_yoast_wpseo_focuskw — focus keyword_yoast_wpseo_canonical — canonical URL_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex — noindex flag_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow — nofollow flag_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-adv — advanced robots directives_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title — OG title_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description — OG description_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image — OG image_yoast_wpseo_twitter-title — Twitter Card title_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description — Twitter Card description_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image — Twitter Card image_yoast_wpseo_primary_category — primary category_yoast_wpseo_schema_page_type — schema typeThe copied values use the source language as a starting point. You then translate them in the visual editor or with AI, same as the post content.
Yoast fields show up in the Lang Forge visual editor alongside post content. Click the AI Translate button on each field, or use AI Translate All to handle every field in the post at once. Hard character limits are respected so translated titles and descriptions don’t exceed Yoast’s recommended lengths.
Lang Forge injects hreflang tags into the HTML head of every page that has translations. Yoast’s own SEO output is unchanged — hreflang just runs alongside it without conflict.
For the XML sitemap, Lang Forge also integrates directly with Yoast’s sitemap output so hreflang annotations appear in the sitemap Yoast submits to Google Search Console.
If you want a different Open Graph image per language (for example, a translated text overlay), the OG image field is translatable like any other Yoast meta field. Set a global default in Lang Forge settings and override per post as needed.
Yoast’s focus keyword analysis runs on each language’s content independently. If you’re targeting “wordpress translation plugin” in English and “wordpress übersetzungsplugin” in German, each version has its own focus keyword and its own analysis score.
All the above applies to both free Yoast SEO and Yoast SEO Premium. Premium features like multiple focus keywords and content insights work on translated content exactly as they do on source content.
Lang Forge has equivalent integration with Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework. See the full integrations list →.
