Hello Yannick,
Watched the 4SEO video on basicjoomla.com. Looks promising.Is the way to use 4SEO on a multilingual website the same as for unilingual sites or is there a specific approach or thing to watch out for? Will 4SEO, for instance, create and post a sitemap for each language and will it create an independent set of results for each language? Best regards,Janbol
Reduced schedule during conference and annual break
We'll be operating with a reduced schedule from tomorrow and the next few weeks, as follows:
We'll be travelling and attending JoomlaDay USA from Tuesday April 22 to Friday April 25. Support will have extended response time during this period. From April 25 evening to Tuesday May 12 included, support will be closed for our annual break.
Don't forget to look up the documentation, including the videos, your answer may already be there! Likewise, be sure to check the Development versions area, in case your problem may already have been solved.
In case of emergency (ie your site is down with a fatal error directly linked to one of our extensions), please contact us by email (see contact icon at the bottom of all pages of this site)

Hi Janbol
Thanks for watching this and glad you found it useful. There's no difference to 4SEO how many languages are on the site.
It works as a crawler, so basically starts with the home page, search for all links it finds and then crawl each of these new pages, and so on until there's no more pages to crawl (it also keeps watching rendered pages to check if they have changed compared to the crawled one. If so, it will put them up for re-crawling, al in the background).
So a link is a link, no matter the language.
As for the sitemap, we do not do separate sitemaps but instead use a single index file, more suited for larger site. Each file in the sitemap index never has more than 1000 pages listed in it. And files are separate per language indeed.
Here is how it looks on a (small) test site:
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <sitemap> <loc>http://weeblrdev.net/_projects/products/4seo/src/j4/index.php/sitemap.en-GB.642116cf0b5b9a24717042883b5b45f7853a3f2a.1.xml.gz</loc> <lastmod>2021-08-16T17:51:26Z</lastmod> </sitemap> <sitemap> <loc>http://weeblrdev.net/_projects/products/4seo/src/j4/index.php/sitemap.fr-FR.b2824d4ee595b6e8f02b327042c382fb9b990440.1.xml.gz</loc> <lastmod>2021-08-16T17:51:26Z</lastmod> </sitemap> </sitemapindex>
If there were more pages in each languages, you may have multiple files per languages, named for instance:
sitemap.fr-FR.b2824d4ee595b6e8f02b327042c382fb9b990440.1.xml.gz
sitemap.fr-FR.b2824d4ee595b6e8f02b327042c382fb9b990440.2.xml.gz
sitemap.fr-FR.b2824d4ee595b6e8f02b327042c382fb9b990440.3.xml.gz
This ensures small sitemap files are always used.
Best regards
Yannick Gaultier
