Hello,
We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the translated URLs not appearing in the sitemap.
When using Weglot to translate your website, the translated URLs should automatically be added to the sitemap. However, if you are experiencing issues with this, you may need to ensure that the translated pages are correctly indexed and accessible to search engines.
To address this issue, you can try the following steps:
- Ensure that the translated pages are accessible and indexable by search engines.
- Check if there are any settings within Weglot that control the inclusion of translated pages in the sitemap.
- Verify that the sitemap is being generated correctly and includes all translated URLs.
If after checking these steps, the issue persists, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Why Are My Translated Pages Not in the Sitemap? » Rank Math
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Please note 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.
