Hello,
I have received a message from Google Webmaster that our hreflang implementation is incorrect.
Google has detected that some pages on your site have implemented the rel-alternate-hreflang tag incorrectly. In particular, there seems to be a problem with incorrect language and region codes, or incorrect bi-directional linking (if page A links with hreflang to page B, there must be a link back from B to A as well). Google uses the hreflang attributes to serve the correct language or regional URL to the right users in search results.
Until you correct the errors on the hreflang links, your website will not benefit from additional language or region targeting.
Hey Yoolia,
What translation plugin are you using?
Best regards,
Basilis
is all of your content translated? Or are there some pages/posts etc. not translated?
How do you handle these pages if it so? Do you redirect it to landing-page? Or ignore it and show standard language.
Hi Basilis,
I have no reply from them yet. I don’t know, where this error originates, therefore I ask here as well.
Hi Guenni007,
almost all our pages are translated, but there are a few that are not, for example on the blog. In the case the page is not translated, it does not appear in the other languages (and you also can’t switch the language on that page).
thank you,
Julia
