multilingual website xhtml ?

[elievischel]

Hi,

would it be possible to add the functionality for multilingual website ? => with http://www.example.com/cool daily <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://www.example.com/en/cool" /> <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="http://www.example.com/de/cool/" />

Shouldn't be too hard to implement. I will look into it the next days.

@lgraubner thanks it would be really amazing for SEO :)

I dived into that feature and actually it's not as easy as I expected. The problem is, that the generator has to skip links which are already handled by a link rel="alternate". But unfortunately the generator is not keeping track on which items were already added as it just streams the pieces to a file. Also a lookahead would be required to not add those site before the "main" language site was added with it's links.

@elievischel you can check this one https://github.com/hazemhagrass/sitemap-generator It's a fork from the current implementation and is implemented multi languages crawling
