Hello,
We use the tool gTranslate.io for multilingual functionality.
Can 4Seo create a sitemap.xml file for multiple languages?
Thank you

Hi
We only and strictly support Joomla multilingual system. I have no idea about how gTranslate.io actually works but a quick look at their website FAQ shows this:
Free version is a nice looking language selector you can place on your website. It has a built in Javascript engine which allows to translate your website automatically to multiple languages. With free version your website URL doesn't change and the translations are not stored. While paid versions are a translation proxy also known as Translation Delivery Network. We host the translated versions of your website on our cloud network under a language specific domain. In that case every language will have a separate domain and be indexed in search engines, which will help you to increase international traffic and sales.
So if using the free version, then pages are not real, nothing will get indexed and there's no point in using a sitemap or doing SEO for that matter.
With the paid version, the host your content on a "language specific domain", so it's something Joomla does not handle (separate websites for each language).
So no, 4SEO will not provide any support for that. I don't know your website of course, but from a pure SEO and operation standpoint, I'd probably stay away from solutions where your translated content is not hosted by you, not part of your actual Joomla content. There are solutions such as Linguise or others, which Joomla plugins that translate content and store it on your website, that's probably much safer long term.
