What is XML Sitemap?

A machine-readable list of your URLs that helps search engines discover every language version.

In more depth

Multilingual sitemaps can embed hreflang annotations per URL — the cleanest implementation at scale.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding XML Sitemap helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
