Definition
Hreflang is an HTML link attribute used to specify the language and geographic targeting of a web page. It tells search engines like Google which language version of a page to serve to users in different countries.
Example: <link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="https://example.com/es/page" />
When to Use Hreflang
- Your website has content in multiple languages
- You have country-specific pages (e.g. /en-US/ vs /en-GB/)
- You want Google to show Spanish users your Spanish page, not your English page
- You have streaming content targeted at specific regional audiences
Hreflang and Multilingual Streaming
For streaming brands like StreamTranslate, hreflang is used to signal to Google which language pages are relevant for which audiences. If you create streaming content in multiple languages, using hreflang ensures each language community finds your content in search results.
- StreamTranslate uses hreflang on its language-specific pages
- Example: the Spanish streaming page signals relevance for ES users
- Proper hreflang prevents duplicate content penalties across translated pages
