Multilingual sitemap in wpml and rankmath

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client wants to create separate sitemaps for each of the 7 languages on their website, but they could not find a way to do this within Rank Math SEO or WPML settings.

Solution:
We explained that the only way to have a different sitemap for each language is by using the 'different domains per language' option available in WPML. When using different directories for each language, only one sitemap is generated, which includes all languages. We provided documentation links for further guidance:

If this solution does not apply to your case, because it might be outdated or not relevant to your specific situation, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly suggest checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

If you need further assistance, please contact our support team.

haIr-centerO	Tell us what you are trying to do? I could not come to an efficient result in my research on the internet about this. Is there any documentation that you are following? no. Is there a similar example that we can see? No, I don't have an example, but I know people who do. What is the link to your site? hidden link

Marsel Nikolli	Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support, I will gladly help you. Can you please elaborate the issue you are facing? From what I was able to check on your website and the image you shared, it seems that everything is working properly. Can you please share WPML support debug information from your site? * To provide the debug information: - Login to your site and go to WPML -> Support, in there click on the “debug information” link at the bottom of the page. - Once on the “debug information” page, select the entire text box content and copy it. - Go back to our support forum, find the debug information box, and paste it. More information on the link: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ Kind regards, Marsel

haIr-centerO	Here's the problem I'm having. There are 7 languages on my site and I want to create a sitemap for all languages separately. For example: site.com/fr/sitemap site.com/nl/sitemap I want to create different sitemaps like this. I haven't seen anything like this in rank math seo settings. Not in wpml settings either. Do you support such a system? How to do it if you support it.

Marsel Nikolli	Hi, I am afraid that the only way to have different sitemap per language is using the option different language per domain option (WPML -> Languages). When using different directory per language there is only 1 sitemap generated and all the languages are included in that sitemap. Please find more detailed information in the links below: - https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/using-wordpress-seo-with-wpml/#translate-sitemaps - https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/ Let me know if you have any other question. Kind regards, Marsel
