    Multilingual sitemap.xml

    Hi!

    Thank you for your beautiful and useful package!

    I'm using the latest version of both umbraco and seoChecker and I'm using language variants.

    On my Home node I've set 2 domains "/it" and "/en".

    I can correctly reach the sitemaps "/it/sitemap.xml" and "/en/sitemap.xml" but in both of them the root node url is "https://www.mydomain.com/" and I'd like to have respectively "https://www.mydomain.com/it" and "https://www.mydomain.com/en".

    Is there a way to achieve this behaviour?

    Thank you

    S

    Hi Stefano,

    Thanks for the kind words. Currently not but hopefully next week it is (pre release version 2.9). Will render the sitemap the same way I do Lang Href so main language and then all other languages.

    Hope this helps,

    Richard

    Richard,

    I'm getting a 404 error on my sitemap when I got to /nl/sitemap.xml or /us/sitemap.xml.

    My GB sitemap works which is on /sitemap.xml

    Any ideas?

    Hi Paul depends a bit on the structure. For now SEOChecker assumes you will have all languages configured on the content rootnode of the language.

    RIchard,

    So we have v8 multilingual variants. The hostnames are:

    Is there anyway to work around this?

    This is the one of the last parts of Multi lingual that needs to be done for SEOChecker. It requires a rewrite where an index is generated first when Multilingual is enabled on a node. And then change the current behaviour to support that for each individual node as well. No quick work around I am affraid.

    Richard -- turns out the 404 issue is nothing to do with SEO Checker, and was an issue with our Culture and Hostname settings.

    However, there is still an issue with Sitemaps, but I'll start a new thread for that.

    Hi there,

    @Richard - did anything happen with this topic and feature request? I'm investigating now if there are any helpful features in SEO Checker for the v8 1-1 translated websites or not (can't find anything about it in the docs :))?

    Basically, the client is interested in all the linkings and metas pointing to the correct language of the site etc.

    Thanks for the info.

    Hi Marcin,

    Make sure to update to 2.9.5 there were a few nasty bugs related to multi lingual which has been solved in 2.9.5. Working on 2.10 now that should have even better Multi lingual support for sitemaps.

    But you question is create if it creates alternate language links in Metadata? yes that is already possible,

    Below a snippet how it renders the metadata

    <link rel="canonical" href="http://umbracov8multilingual.local/en/"/>
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="http://umbracov8multilingual.local/en/"/>
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="nl-nl" href="http://umbracov8multilingual.local/nl/"/>

    Best,

    Richard
