Hello, we’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your translated pages not showing in the sitemap. When using Weglot with Rank Math, the translated pages are not added to the sitemap files, as this is handled by the translation plugins through hreflang tags. This is one of the recommended methods for handling translated pages in sitemaps.
If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please feel free to let us know.

Why Are My Translated Pages Not in the Sitemap? » Rank Math
So what can i do to have translated pages in sitemap?
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Rank Math usually only handles adding the default language to your sitemap. Other languages are handled automatically by the translation plugin you use by adding a hreflang into each page automatically so that Google knows that it is a translated version of some other page.
It is not a must that you have the translated pages in your sitemap. This is perfectly fine and as per guidelines set by Google:
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/localized-versions
However, if you still want, you can follow this guide to create a custom sitemap: https://rankmath.com/kb/custom-sitemaps/
Hope that helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
Thank you.
