How will search engines rate a site with 50*200=10,000 localized versions and a sitemap file size of over 1MB?
The site has been translated into 50 languages and is available in 200 countries around the world.
The language of the main page (example.com) is determined by HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE and IP.
For the correct localization of search engines, in particular Yandex and Google, there is a link link:
<link rel=”alternate” href=”http://example.com/ru-RU” hreflang=”ru-RU”>
<link rel=”alternate” href=”http://example.com/ru-US” hreflang=”ru-US”>

I can’t tell you how “50 * 200” will be regarded, but the 7.6 MB sitemap is quietly processed by Yandex (and most likely Google)
. The page with the requirements for sitemap files clearly states:
The file can contain no more than 50,000 URLs, and its uncompressed size must not exceed 10 MB. If your Sitemap does not meet these requirements, split it into several separate files and list them in the Sitemap index file.
*no more than 50,000 URLs in one sitemap file.
I had 50 such files and, accordingly, 50 x 50.000
