Forum Archive - XML sitemap and HREFLANG

Hi there, I would like to add a meta hreflang on our websites using gTranslate. And I'd like to add an XML sitemap too. May you help us? Do you have any "ready to go" solutions? We can develop our own plugin... but we can't find a documentation with method or API. For example: what about the right way to get all available languages? And what about the right way to get translated url, giving a post? Thank you Davide

Hi I wouldn't suggest playing with hreflang. Please read all the documentation available from Google. It may cause SEO issues if used incorrectly. We do not translate xml sitemaps and other XML documents. There is no need to create sitemap.xml for translated languages. You can create sitemap.html page like on oue website and submit the URL to search engines. You can find GTranslate documentation here https://gtranslate.io/docs. You can find supported lnguages list here https://gtranslate.io/faq

Hi Yana, I did mean: "how to get the available activated languages list", through PHP and WordPress hook. Not the supported languages list available on your FAQ page. I would like to use correctly (hope) hreflang meta tag, why did you not suggest this best practice?

Hi, You can find the current selected language code from X-GT-Lang request header. With PHP you can find it in _SERVER['HTTP_X_GT_LANG'] variable.
