Is that normal for a multilingual website. I’ve seen a lot fo sitemaps and never seen one like that. Whenever I go to:
/en/sitemap.xml or /fr/sitemap.xml don’t look like sitemaps at all.
Thoughts?
yes this is correct, you should have a sitemap per language.

If you use any Sitemap XML validator out there, including submitting the sitemap to Google Search Console, you will see that the generated sitemaps by Hugo are 100% valid.
