    Hello, my site has a French and English version. (the English version being the principal version of the site and the French one the translation with WPML).

    My texts are enriched in SEO to be referenced by google in both languages.

    I would like to remove the rel=canonical tags so that I can reference the French part and not only the English part.

    The Hreflang tags are already indicated to make sure that google understands that this is only the translation of the site and that it does not classify it as a duplicate content.

    Is this possible?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    You can use the following filter to disable the canonical tag. Configuring it to return false will disable the tag:

    /**
 * Allow changing of the canonical URL.
 *
 * @param string $canonical The canonical URL.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
        // Disable canonical
        $canonical = false;
	return $canonical;
});

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
