WPML with secondary domain

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing. When using WPML with different domains for each language, Rank Math SEO works seamlessly to ensure that your multilingual setup is optimized for search engines like Google.

How Rank Math Handles Different Domains:

1. Sitemaps: Rank Math automatically generates sitemaps for each language version of your site, including those on different domains. Each translated post/page will be included in the respective sitemap index, which can be submitted to Google.

2. Hreflang Tags: WPML adds hreflang tags to your translated pages. This helps Google understand that a particular page is a translated version of another page on your website, which is crucial for avoiding duplicate content issues and ensuring that users are directed to the correct language version.

3. Canonical Tags: Rank Math also adds canonical tags to each translated post/page, indicating the original content’s location. This further helps search engines understand the relationship between the original and translated content.

Manual Adjustments:

While Rank Math and WPML handle most configurations automatically, it’s always a good idea to:

• Check your Sitemaps: Ensure that all translated pages are included in the sitemaps.
• Review Hreflang Tags: Make sure that the hreflang tags are correctly set up for each language version.
• Monitor Search Console: Keep an eye on Google Search Console for any indexing issues or warnings related to your multilingual setup.
