Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. Could you please explain me what is the conflict here. I checked the screenshot and everything seems normal. Let me explain: <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" /> This line declare the hreflang url for the french version (which is the correct URL) <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" /> This line adds the English translation the URL is also correct. However I can see that the content of this page is in French. I checked your debug file and you have the option "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language" activated. So, if the translation doesn't exist, that seems logic that the french version is displayed. <link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" /> This declare which one is the default language (original language). From your debug file, French is the default language.

lauraL-17	Hi Nicolas, within SEMRUSH I am getting hreflang conflicts within page source code error on my website. I got in touch with SEMRUSH and they said the following: 'I have checked the provided campaign. Please note that these issues are identified due to the incorrect implementation of the hreflang tags that can be found within the website's code. Please see the following screenshot: Image_2023-06-09_12-47-32.png (I have attached it here again) Therefore there is nothing wrong with the translation of the website and the implementation of the hreflang tags should be brought to the webmaster for fixing. Please note that the correct implementation of hreflang tags can help your website increase the chances for ranking, therefore I would definitely recommend looking into it with the help of your webmaster. " I need to know what I need to do within WPML to solve this issue if possible. Kind regards Robyn

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Once again, hreflang links are correctly implemented: - You have the FR version, the EN version and as "x-default" the FR version (because FR is your primary language). The issue that I see here is simply that you English article is in fact in French: hidden link Maybe if you send me the full report from SEMRUSH I will be able to give you more details. Also, in case you want to alter the hreflang behavior on your site you can use our hook: https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_alternate_hreflang/
