Hello!
I'm having a SEO related issue with our site.
Tell us what you are trying to do?
I did a SEO site audit with Ahrefs and got this "Hreflang to non-canonical" error on pages that are not translated (you can see in the screenshots attached). In the settings we have set the Pages to "use translation if available or fallback to default language" , I'm not sure if this is interfering.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
No
Is there a similar example that we can see? hidden link
What is the link to your site? hidden link
how can avoid this error? is there a workaround to check if the page has actual translations and only show those as hreflang attributes?
Actually, that is correct behavior since you have a duplicate page with the same content on the DE language, so the canonical is the default language page.
That is the correct approach to not have Google index the same content 2 times and avoid further issues.
- hidden link
Even though Ahrefs gives this as an error when using multigoal this expected and correct way.
Other way would be to translate the pages correctly and use option to show only translated pages instead of fallback.
