    I just noticed that neither of translated Polylang pages are in Sitemap.

    First I thought it is the issue with XML Sitemaps plugin so I tested 2 more XML plugins and neither of these is showing the translated pages.
    Why and how to fix this ?
    I have all those pages added in the footer so they should be found easily.

    I think you have misunderstood the functionality of XML sitemaps? It creates sitemap.xml file about site so search engines would index your site better. So it’s not intended to display a visual link listing for users.

    You might search something like this:

    Edit: And of course you need some custom functionality to show translated pages across different language versions…

    Hi of course I understand that XML is just for google crawler to find all my pages easier.

    That is the reason why I wonder why non of translated pages are available in XML for google crawler to find and index them ?

    If all english (main language) pages appear in XML sitemap, why not translated ?

    Hmm, I couldn’t confirm this in test environment with latest XML Sitemaps & Polylang.

    Have you followed the instructions found here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/please-read-before-posting-21/?

    Especially these:

    * Update WordPress, your theme, Polylang and all other plugins to the latest version.
    * Deactivate your other plugins and switch to the default WordPress theme. If the problem persists, open a thread, if not, figure out which plugin is the cause of the problem and open a thread mentioning both plugins.
