    Hello, please help and make translations to other languages show up in sitemap.

    Example of correct languages sitemap

    Here is an example for Dutch:

    The logic is same as for translated pages – just add the language code.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to Rank Math and for bringing your concern to our attention. I apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    Please be aware that Rank Math typically only deals with adding the default language to your sitemap. Other languages are automatically handled by the translation plugin you use, which adds a hreflang to each page, letting Google know that it is a translated version of another page.

    It is not necessary to have the translated pages in your sitemap. This is perfectly acceptable and in line with Google’s guidelines:
    https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/localized-versions

    However, if you still wish to do so, you can reach out to your translation plugin to confirm how they work with sitemaps – OR you can follow this guide to create a custom sitemap: https://rankmath.com/kb/custom-sitemaps/

    I hope this information is helpful to you.

    Thank you.
