Localized versions of a page for products, categories and CMS pages

In the configuration settings, you can choose on which specific types of pages you want to provide links to their alternative versions. Localized page variations can be added to the product page, category page, CMS page, and home page.

HTML tags for specifying localized versions of a page

The Hreflang Extension for Magento 2 adds <link rel="alternate" hreflang="lang_code" href="url_of_page" /> elements to the page header to inform search engines about all localized page variations.

The values of the hreflang attribute

The hreflang attribute indicates the language and, optionally, the region of the alternate URL. The value of the hreflang attribute can also be x-default for languages that are not specified in the page's hreflang attribute. The language code can be determined automatically from Store Locale or manually selected. The region code can be determined automatically from the Default Country for the store or manually selected.

Grouping of localized versions of a page at the website level or globally

If you have several websites, then, if necessary, you can link localized versions of a page within a separate website. In this case, in each resulting group of alternate page versions, you can select a link and use the hreflang attribute for it with the x-default value.
You can also link localized versions of a page globally. In the resulting group of alternate page versions, you can also select the link and set the hreflang attribute to x-default.

Grouping of CMS pages

In the configuration settings, you can specify the attribute of the CMS page, by which you want to link the localized versions of the pages. You can link CMS pages by ID, URL Key, Hreflang Identifier (new attribute).
