How to create one sitemap XML per language ? I am using the CMS WordPress, the plugin WPML and Yoast SEO. I have created one subfolder per language: https://www.swissmedflight.com https://www.swissmedflight.com/en/ https://www.swissmedflight.com/fr-fr/ https://www.swissmedflight.com/fr-lu/ https://www.swissmedflight.com/fr-be/ The problem is that when I generate a sitemap XML with Yoast, all languages are mixed up. Plus, the subfolders /fr-fr/%category/%post/, /fr-lu/%category/%post/, /fr-be/%category/%post/ aren't showing on my sitemap. I guess because there's rel canonical tags in the headers. First question: If I one to geo-target each subfolder to a specific region, should I need to have multiple sitemap ? I was able to to register each domain name in GWT. Second question: How to create a specific sitemap for each language ? I try to look everywhere on the internet and on WPML forum and it looks there's no clear solution for this problem. The only thing they suggest is to create a subdomain. This last solution is not the best because I want to benefit from my SEO that I already have with my root domain. Thank you in advance for your help !
