Yes, you need to include both languages for each entry in the sitemap: the url you are specifying in the loc
item and every alternate language version of the page.
Also the hreflang="x-default"
is used only for auto-redirecting homepages or selectors, so in your case it seems that both pages have a specific language: en
and es
, it should be written with hreflang="en" instead of x-default
like this:
<url>
<loc>https://www.example.com/en/about-us/testimonials</loc>
<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://www.example.com/en/about-us/testimonials" />
<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="https://www.example.com/es/about-us/testimonials" />
