Prepare alternate-language link tags for translated or regional versions of a page. Enter one language code and absolute URL pair per line, including an optional x-default entry, then copy or download the generated HTML.

How to Use Hreflang Tag Generator

  1. List equivalent page versions and their confirmed language or region codes.
  2. Enter one code and absolute URL pair per line, separated by a vertical bar.
  3. Generate the alternate tags and review the entire set.
  4. Publish reciprocal entries on each relevant page and check its final response.

Build a consistent set of language alternates

Start with pages that serve equivalent purposes in different languages or regions. The generator formats the supplied pairs and catches selected code-format and duplicate-code problems. It does not translate a page, verify its language, or test whether the alternate URLs return the right content.

Example: English and Urdu page versions

Supply en | https://example.com/ and ur-PK | https://example.com/ur/ on separate lines. If the site has a language selector or fallback page, an x-default entry can identify that destination. Review the codes rather than assuming every syntactically accepted tag is suitable for your search-engine implementation.

Publish the set on every relevant version

Each alternate needs the intended reciprocal set, including its own entry. Confirm that the pages are accessible and that canonical signals are consistent with the language-page strategy. Consult Google guidance on localized versions for supported language and region combinations.

Use the Canonical Tag Generator for a page-level preferred URL and the Redirect Checker to inspect alternate destinations.
