href-lang Tags

image

The i18nBundle will handle the href lang tags for you which are very important for search engines.

Prearrangement​

It's very important that you connect your localized documents using the opendxp localization service.

Note: If you're not localizing your documents, no href lang tags will be generated, which will lead to a negative impact on your SEO strategies. There is, however, some magic if you're using the country mode.

X-Default​

i18n will generate a x-default link, based on default values:

Default Locale Workflow​

  • First, the i18nBundle will search for the default_locale config.
  • If not defined, the default system locale will be used
  • If not defined, NULL will be returned (which means, no x-default tag)

Note: It's possible to override the getDefaultLocale() method within a custom locale adapter.

Important: Be sure that your defined default locale is valid (in current zone). Otherwise, no x-default tag will be generated.

Static Routes​

If you're using static routes, please read this to enable href-lang tags for dynamic routes.
