Multilingual Site Maps

For multilingual site maps, the main addition to your sitemap will be the use of HREF lang. For instance, if you have an English version, a Russian version, and a Spanish version:


  • For the English version:

<link rel="alternate"hreflang="en" href="www.mysite.com/en/page.html"/>


  • For the Spanish version:

<link rel="alternate"hreflang="es" href="www.mysite.com/es/pagina.html"/>


  • For the Russian version:

<link rel="alternate"hreflang="ru" href="www.mysite.com/ru/stranitsa.html"/>


  • Always use x-default for any languages you haven’t specified

<link rel="alternate"hreflang="x-default" href="www.mysite.com/x-default/page.html"/>
