Hi Martijn,
Thanks for your response. So, you're saying it's okay to use the same URL for both "en" and "en-US"?
I would love to get some input from other Mozers.
Thanks!

Hi Martijn,

Hi,I have a question. Is it okay if I use the same URL for both "en" and "en-us" hreflang tags? For example, for my en-us page:
Is this okay with Google? What are your thoughts on this?
Yes. example.com/en-US/ redirects 301 to example.com
So, when referencing that version in hreflang will it look like this?
Is this correct?
What do you mean by "exactly the same then there should not be 2 sites"?
My https://www.example.com/en-US/ 301 redirects to https://www.example.com
Thoughts?
Thank you for the response, Gaston! I really appreciate it.
So you are certain that my hreflang and canonical tags are implemented correctly? For example, my Spanish version (https://www.example.com/es_ES/
Is this implementation correct?
Also, will I have any duplicate content issues with these different language versions?
Hi,
Let's say I have a site located at https://www.example.com, and also have subdirectories setup for different languages. For example:
https://www.example.com/es_ES/
https://www.example.com/fr_FR/
https://www.example.com/it_IT/
My Spanish version currently has the following hreflang tags and canonical tag implemented:
My robots.txt file is blocking all of my language subdirectories. For example:
User-agent:*
Disallow: /es_ES/
Disallow: /fr_FR/
Disallow: /it_IT/
This setup doesn't seem right. I don't think I should be blocking the language-specific subdirectories via robots.txt
What are your thoughts?
Does my hreflang tag and canonical tag implementation look correct to you? Should I be doing this differently?
I would greatly appreciate your feedback and/or suggestions.
