Does Webflow automatically include hreflangs in the code for multi-language websites, and if so, where do they come from?

Webflow does not automatically include hreflangs in the code for multi-language websites. Hreflang tags are HTML tags that indicate to search engines the language and geographical targeting of a specific page. However, despite not being auto-generated by Webflow, you can manually add hreflang tags to your Webflow site.

To add hreflang tags in Webflow, you have a few options:

1. Manual implementation: You can manually add hreflang tags to your page's HTML head using custom code. In Webflow, you can do this by accessing the page settings and pasting the code snippet into the Custom Code section.

2. CMS-driven implementation: If you're using Webflow's CMS features for your multi-language website, you can leverage the dynamic content to populate hreflang tags automatically. For example, you can create a collection field to store the language code for each page, and then use that value to generate the appropriate hreflang tags on your template pages.

Alternatively, you can use the Webflow API to fetch the necessary data from your CMS and dynamically insert the hreflang tags into your pages' HTML.

3. Third-party integrations: Webflow integrates with various third-party tools, such as Weglot, Localize, and Bablic, which specialize in managing multi-language websites. These services often provide an automated solution for generating and managing hreflang tags, making it easier to ensure correct implementation across your site.

It's important to note that while hreflang tags can help search engines understand and index your multi-language content correctly, they are just one aspect of a comprehensive international SEO strategy. Other factors to consider include proper language and country targeting, localized content, and effective translation and localization practices.

Therefore, while Webflow may not automatically include hreflang tags, it provides you with the flexibility to implement them manually or via integrations to manage your website's internationalization effectively.
