Hello,

I want to improve my seo and we need some extra hreflang. Right now we have Dutch, German and France. But we receive visitors from Belgium, Switzerland and Austria. Let me create a overview

Country: Dutch - Language:Dutch
Country: Belgium - Language:Dutch
Country: Belgium - Language:France

Country: Germany - Language:German
Country: Switzerland - Language:German
Country: Austria - Language:German

Right now I'm trying to duplicate the dutch language for Belgium but I get some errors. Also I'm wondering about in Belgium they speak 2 languages. How do I install this correct? Something Like hreflang be_NL and be_FR. Also how can I instal this?

Please check the attachments for the errors.

I was following these information:https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/editing-wpmls-languages-table/ | https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/#how-to-duplicate-pages-and-posts-in-bulk

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

To help you faster, I've enabled debug information for this support ticket. Please see this link for how to get this information from your site and give it to us: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

The best method in your case will be you add custom languages for be_NL and be_FR, then bulk duplicate the posts and pages to newly added languages. You can follow the language code & Default locale as per the global practice, like the following.


Country: Belgium - Language: Dutch(*nl-be* as language code & *nl_BE* as Default locale)
Country: Belgium - Language: France(*fr-be* as language code & *fr_BE* as Default locale)
