    Hello,

    My sitemap only show the product categories from my default language, EN GB but not for others : Italy, spain, sweden, canada, australia, etc.

    At the otherside, the products sitemap shows every variations on countries.

    How to correct this problem ? I can see that google have very easily found products in every country and they are ranking well.

    For product categories google doesn’t rank them well for the most majority of them, has i can see without this complete sitemap the crawlers discover theses categories on-site direct with internal linking but this work great for countries that have high volume research and not for countries where there is low volume research, where it seems a complete sitemap with product categories link directly will make help google for indexing them.

    Finally need a complete sitemap for a multilingual site using Polylang, where it show all products categories for all countries just like products sitemap.

    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you’re facing with your sitemap. It seems that your sitemap is only showing the product categories from your default language, EN GB, and not for other languages like Italy, Spain, Sweden, Canada, Australia, etc.

    In order to correct this problem and have a complete sitemap for your multilingual site using Polylang, you can follow these steps:

    1. Make sure you have the Rank Math SEO plugin installed and activated on your WordPress site.

    2. Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Rank Math > Sitemap Settings.

    3. In the Sitemap Settings, you’ll find an option called “Include in Sitemap” for Product Categories. Make sure this option is enabled for all the languages you want to include in your sitemap.

      Include in Sitemap for Product Categories

    4. Save the changes.

    By enabling the “Include in Sitemap” option for Product Categories in Rank Math’s Sitemap Settings, you should be able to have a complete sitemap that includes all the product categories for all countries, just like the products sitemap.

    Please note that it may take some time for search engines to crawl and index the updated sitemap. So, I recommend monitoring the indexing progress and checking if the product categories are being indexed properly.
