Hreflang

An HTML attribute that signals to search engines the language and geographic targeting of a page, used to serve the correct version to international users.

Hreflang tags are used in multilingual or multi-regional sites to prevent duplicate content issues and ensure the right localised page ranks for the right country-language combination. Common implementation errors include missing reciprocal hreflang tags, incorrect language codes, and applying hreflang to non-canonical URLs.
