Hreflang tags for multiple languages (sub-folder)

Hi there,

I see other threads covering this subject but none of them really answer my questions.
Posted the same questions on one of the threads but with no luck (though it was an old thread).

Questions:

I’m currently making my first website in 2 languages.
I originally went with the Weglot solution but not happy with the translation, and maybe overkill for this site anyway.

I just need clarification of what I’m doing is correct.

Will make a subfolder called DK (Danish) - original version in English.

In index page in header of the English version I will paste:

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://mysite.com" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://mysite.com" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="dk" href="https://mysite.com/dk" />

… Do I paste the same in the index page of the Danish version?


In about page in header of the English version I will paste:

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://mysite.com/about" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://mysite.com/about" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="dk" href="https://mysite.com/dk/about" />

… Do I paste the same in the about page of the Danish version?


Are there any other things I need to do for this to work?

I sincerely hope you or somebody else can help me :slight_smile:

Thanks

Hi all,

If you have similar questions like the above don’t bother contacting Webflow support.
Since it’s not a “default feature” in Webflow there is no support. Disappointed, but fair enough…
Let’s hope this will become a “default feature” the day Webflow natively supports multi-language websites - if ever!

Until then I finally found a site that explain HREFLANG in layman terms.

Have a read - it explains it pretty well:
How hreflang tags works and how to implement them correctly
