How SEO Sitemaps work with WPML
A sitemap is an XML file that lists all the pages on your site for search engines like Google.
Usually, there should be a sitemap for each domain and this is exactly what happens when using the A different domain per language option located on the WPML -> Languages page, together with the Yoast SEO plugin.
For example, when you have en.mydomain.com for the English site’s versions and es.mydomain.com for the Spanish site’s version, you will end up with two different XML files for each language version. Both versions will be listing the correct pages for their respective language.
You can find the default language sitemap, by going to yourdomain/sitemap_index.xml. For the sitemap in the secondary language, go to your-secondary-language-domain/sitemap_index.xml.
