Created a /french/ folder in a .com site and added that example.com/french/ to dashboard so now I have 2 sites
example.com and example.com/french, that allowed me to set the /french to target France for instance. But since I don't have a sitemap (sitemap.xml is on root)

I get this:

"No pages from your site are currently included in Google's index. Indexing can take time. You may find it helpful to review our information for webmasters and webmaster guidelines. Help

Help
You have not submitted any Sitemaps. Submit a Sitemap to help Google discover pages our crawlers might not otherwise find. Once you create and submit a Sitemap listing the URLs on your site, we'll provide you with data on how Google is indexing those pages. More information"

Am I missing something?
Should I split my sitemap and put my french pages in a new sitemap in /french folder? and take those off the sitemap on root?
