Hello,
We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with your sitemap not including multilingual pages.
When using TranslatePress with Rank Math, the sitemap should include your multilingual content without any manual action required. To verify this, you can visit your sitemap index at yoursite.com/sitemap_index.xml and navigate to yoursite.com/post-sitemap.xml or yoursite.com/page-sitemap.xml to see all of your multilingual posts or pages included in the sitemap that Rank Math created for you.
If you are still experiencing issues with your multilingual pages not being included in the sitemap, please ensure that you have the latest versions of both TranslatePress and Rank Math installed. Additionally, you can try clearing your website’s cache and then checking the sitemap again.
If the issue persists, please feel free to assign this ticket to our support team using the available buttons, and we will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

Hi,
I check plugins TranslatePress and Rank Math are both the latest version
and clearing my website’s cache, but still don’t work.
What else should I do for it?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Rank Math, by default, adds the URLs of the main language, and the rest is handled by the translation plugin, which in this case is Translatepress.
The Translatepress plugin will add the hreflang tag to the pages to indicate what other variations exist for any given page/post on the website.
This method is also acceptable by Google for multilingual websites as you can see here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/international/managing-multi-regional-sites
However, the TranslatePress SEO pack addon integration adds the translated URLs to our sitemap automatically. It can be found at WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Addons > SEO Pack with the premium version of TranslatePress.

Hope that helps.
Thank you.
Hi,
I also ask TranslatePress about it,
Since this looks a lot like a conflict with some other code,
I have to check which plugin might cause this issue.

Hello,
Since you suspect a plugin conflict might be preventing the translated pages from showing up in the sitemap, it is worth investigating. To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

Thank you for sharing this plugin,
I tried to set theme to the default Twenty Twenty,
and only enable TranslatePress and Rank Math plugins,
but my site map still not include multilingual pages.
