2) Top level domain – http://www.abc.ca

3) Sub domain – http://ca.abc.com

 

The hreflang is implemented to any of the above domains. Hreflang tag helps to tell google which version of the website should be shown in which country.

 

Below is the code should add in a pages <head> tag of any multi lingual website like abc.com

<link rel=”alternate” href=”http://www.abc.com/de” hreflang=”de-de” />

<link rel=”alternate” href=”http://www.abc.com/ca” hreflang=”en-ca” />

<link rel=”alternate” href=”http://www.abc.com/ca-fr” hreflang=”fr-ca” />

<link rel=”alternate” href=”http://www.abc.com/” hreflang=”x-default” />

 

Note: X-default is for alternative version of the page means if site is opening in italy and website is not in italy then set to default means home page or the page owner want.
