Xml file for a multilingual site based on the Polylang plugin.

With such a sitemap xml, it is much easier for crawlers to see the complete structure of your site and extract it more efficiently. But there are problems with sitemap xml and Polylang plugin for multilingual site.

But I ran into such a problem. When using the All in One SEO plugin and the Polylang plugin, the sitemap xml is generated only in the default language (Russian), and not on the English pages that are presented in the / en / subdirectory.

Polylang is a pretty popular multi-language plugin and it works great with All-One SEO for editing metadata, it would be nice if the sitemap worked as well. I didn’t delete the All In One SEO Pack plugin for SEO, I like it. Disabling the block (XML sitemap) in the All In One SEO Pack plugin helped (go to the modules and click Deactivate in the XML sitemap block)
and installed the Google XML Sitemaps plugin,
