Hello, Thanks for reaching out to us. I've checked your website and noticed that you use Rank Math SEO, which is compatible with WPML. Please ensure you have our WPML SEO add-on installed and activated, so you can be sure to have that functionality. See how href lang works on WPML: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/adding-hreflang-wordpress/#how-wpml-creates-hreflang-tags I hope this explanation helps! Please tell us if you require any further assistance. Best regards, Lucas Vidal. |

Hello, Yes, that is correct. To see which plugins are active, you can simply access the plugins page and search for WPML SEO. In case it's not installed, you can follow the steps described in “Download WPML manually”, on the following link. https://wpml.org/account/downloads/ You can also find more information in this documentation: This plugin adds compatibility between Rank Math SEO and WPML.

Hello, Yes, that is correct. Hreflang and the alternate implementation are separate from the URL format options. You can use the URL format option that suits you best. All the options offered by WPML take SEO in consideration and suffice to tell Google in which language the given URL is. I suggest you research for the pros and cons of each approach, but as I said, they all suffice in terms of SEO. Best regards, |
