The GTranslate Enterprise plan (highest paid tier) supports sub-domain and sub-directory URL structures for multilingual websites, but there isn’t a single, fixed list of sub-domains universally applied to all sites, as they are dynamically generated based on the languages you select for translation and the domain configuration for your site (in this case, ja.banzaijapan.jp). Each sub-domain corresponds to a language code (e.g., en for English, fr for French) and is tied to your domain via CNAME records pointing to GTranslate’s Translation Delivery Network (TDN). Below, I’ll explain how GTranslate sub-domains work, provide a comprehensive list of potential sub-domains based on supported languages, and detail how to configure them for ja.banzaijapan.jp using Rank Math Pro to include them in your sitemap. I’ll also include copy-and-paste text where applicable, focusing on the setup process without repeating plugin installation instructions, as you’ve specified they’re already installed.
How GTranslate Sub-Domains Work
- Sub-Domain Structure: GTranslate Enterprise allows you to use sub-domains like en.banzaijapan.jp for English or fr.banzaijapan.jp for French, where the sub-domain prefix is the two-letter language code (e.g., en, fr) or a language-regional code (e.g., zh-cn for Simplified Chinese).
- CNAME Configuration: Each sub-domain requires a CNAME record in your DNS settings pointing to GTranslate’s TDN (e.g., tdn.gtranslate.net or a specific server like 94.23.220.123). This ensures translated pages are hosted on GTranslate’s cloud for SEO and performance.
- Language-Specific Sub-Domains: The sub-domains depend on the languages you enable in GTranslate settings. The Enterprise plan supports over 100 languages, so the potential sub-domains are based on these language codes.
- Rank Math Integration: Rank Math Pro includes these sub-domains in the XML sitemap if GTranslate’s Search Engine Indexing and URL Translation are enabled, with proper hreflang tags for multilingual SEO.
List of Potential GTranslate Sub-Domains for ja.banzaijapan.jpGTranslate supports translations for over 100 languages, and each language can have a corresponding sub-domain if you choose the sub-domain structure. Below is a comprehensive list of language codes that could be used as sub-domains (e.g., en.banzaijapan.jp) based on GTranslate’s supported languages, as referenced from their documentation. Note that you select which languages to enable in GTranslate settings, so not all sub-domains will be active unless you configure them.

Notes:
- This list includes all languages supported by GTranslate as of their documentation. The actual sub-domains you use depend on the languages you enable in GTranslate settings.
- Special codes like zh-cn (Simplified Chinese) and zh-tw (Traditional Chinese) use hyphens in the sub-domain (e.g., zh-cn.banzaijapan.jp).
- The ja sub-domain (ja.banzaijapan.jp) is your primary domain, hosting the original Japanese content.
Configuring Sub-Domains for ja.banzaijapan.jp with GTranslate and Rank Math ProTo generate a multilingual XML sitemap with sub-domains included, follow these steps. This assumes you prefer sub-domains over sub-directories (e.g., en.banzaijapan.jp instead of ja.banzaijapan.jp/en/), as your query emphasizes sub-domains.
Step 1: Configure GTranslate for Sub-Domain Structure
- Access GTranslate Settings:
- In your WordPress dashboard (https://ja.banzaijapan.jp/wp-admin), go to Settings > GTranslate.
- Set Up Sub-Domains:
- Set the primary language to Japanese (ja).
- Select desired languages for translation (e.g., English en, French fr, Spanish es).
- Choose Sub-domain as the URL structure instead of sub-directory.
- Enable Search Engine Indexing to allow translated sub-domains to be crawled.
- Enable Hreflang Tags for SEO, ensuring search engines understand language targeting.
- Save changes by clicking Save Changes.
- Configure DNS for Sub-Domains:
- Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare).
- For each language, create a CNAME record pointing to GTranslate’s TDN. Example for English (en):
- Name/Host: en
- Type: CNAME
- Value: tdn.gtranslate.net (or a specific server like ani.tdn.gtranslate.net for certain languages; check GTranslate’s Setup Wizard or support for exact values)
- Example DNS configuration (copy and paste into your DNS manager):

Notes
- Sub-Domains vs. Sub-Directories: Sub-domains (e.g., en.banzaijapan.jp) require separate DNS configuration and Search Console properties but are better for geo-targeting (e.g., fr.banzaijapan.jp for France). Sub-directories (e.g., ja.banzaijapan.jp/en/) are simpler for sitemap management, as one sitemap covers all languages.
- Enterprise Plan: The Enterprise plan supports custom domains (e.g., banzaijapan.fr for French) if you own them, but this requires additional configuration with GTranslate support.
- Rank Math Pro: Automatically includes GTranslate sub-domains in the sitemap if properly configured, with no additional plugins needed.
- Support: For specific CNAME records or issues with sub-domains, contact GTranslate support via your Enterprise account dashboard (https://my.gtranslate.io/).
