Background of the issue:
We are using WPML and experiencing issues with AHREFS site audit when we enable the 'Browser Language Redirect' feature on our site hidden link.

Symptoms:
We are getting Hreflang and HTML lang mismatch errors on AHREFS site audit.

Questions:
Do you have any suggestion/s on how to fix the Hreflang and HTML lang mismatch errors?

Hi there,

While waiting for one of my colleagues to help you, please review the following.

Visiting this page -> hidden link

I can verify that the HTML lang is matching pt-br and the HREF lang is correctly referencing.

Please see my screenshot.

You can also review the source directly here:

Hi, 'Browser Language Redirect' feature is currently disabled on our site since it causes errors on AHREFS site audit.

Hello,

Thank you for the updates. This is an expected result. Because when *Browser language redirect* the option is enabled, it may affect the Google Indexing. Please refer to following documentation for more details.
