Managing the sitemap in multilingual
As explained in the sitemap guide, where it is explained how to submit your sitemap to search engines, you should use the sitemap according to this format:
https://channelDomain/sitemap.xml
If you have Teyuto's Localization plugin enabled, you can harness the power of your multilingual pages. You can decide which languages to index, and for each language you will need to index a sitemap. You can do it this way:
https://channelDomain/sitemap.xml?l=languageCode
Regarding your default language (the first one you selected from the settings section, languages enabled), you do not need to specify this paramenter
Example
Suppose you have activated 3 languages of which English is the first and default language, and then Italian and French. It will be sufficient to index the sitemaps in this way:
- **English (default) **https://channelDomain/sitemap.xml
- Italian https://channelDomain/sitemap.xml**?l=it**
- French https://channelDomain/sitemap.xml**?l=fr**
