jeffJ-7	I've edited my hreflang fields to be en-US, fr-CA, etc. But that capitalization isn't being reflected in the link tags. Is there some sort of formatting applied to that output? How can I achieve the output I want? Thanks, Jeff

Mohamed Sayed	Hi Jeff, Thanks for contacting WPML support. I can see the same on my testing site, so I've escalated the ticket to our 2nd tier support team to check if there is a workaround. I will update you once I get their feedback. Regards, Mohamed

Mohamed Sayed	Hi Jeff, Our 2nd tier supporters mentioned that using lowercase shouldn't cause any issues since the hreflang tags are not case sensitive and search engines will accept both formats. Please check here for more details: hidden link hidden link Please let us know your feedback. Regards, Mohamed
