TX	I set the sitemap .xml on Rank Math, but the default map generation becomes/en, is this correct? Do I need to set the map for other languages too, such as /ar,/fr, etc? Please check if the settings are correct on our website administrator?

TX	I want the default path to exclude /en. When the user browses, it will be recognized as the local language, which means the path will be /en, /fr, /ar, etc. accordingly. Also, do I need to generate other languages in Rank Math's sitemap.xml to get more Google and Bing sitemap submissions?

Christopher Amirian Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hi there, The directory for the default language is something that you can turn off from WPML settings. Please kindly follow the steps below: - Go to "WordPress Dashboard > WPML > Languages > Language URL Format". - Make sure that the "Use directory for default language" checkbox is Unchecked. - Click the "Save" button. - Go to "WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks". - Click the "Save" button to flush the permalinks cache. - Follow the steps to re-run the XML Sitemap feature of Rank Math. If you still have issues with the sitemap please kindly contact Rank Math support as mentioned in the doc below: https://wpml.org/errata/rankmath-seo-adds-incorrect-entries-for-translated-homepages-in-the-sitemap/ Thank you.
