At first that would be fine.

Said that, this is a very specific case where you can use both hreflang and cross domain rel="canonical".

Remember that these two mark-up are totally independent one each other, though.

If you use them both, as I wrote replying to Yusuf, from one side you are telling Google that you want it to show a determined URL for a determined geo-targeted country/language, and from other side you are also telling Google that that geo-targeted URL is the exact copy of the canonical one.

What Google will do will be showing the geo-targeted URL in the SERPs, but with the Title and Meta Description of the canonical one.

One more thing, and this a strong reason for urging a complete translation in a short period of time:

if the content of the URL of the French site, for instance, is in English, you cannot put "fr-FR" in the hreflang, but "en-FR". This is a consequence: that the URL will tend to be shown only for English queries done in Google.fr, not for French queries... and that mean loosing a lot of traffic opportunities.

Yusuf,

I'm sorry but I've to correct you.

If two pages are in the same language, but they are targeting different countries (i.e.: USA and UK), even if the content is the same or substantially the same, then you not only can use the hreflang, but also you should use it in order to tell Google that one URL must be shown to US people and the other to UK ones.

Obviously, if you want you can always decide to use the cross domain rel="canonical" instead.

Remember, though, that in that case - if you are using the hreflang - that Google will show the snippets' components (title and meta description) of the canonical URL, even it will show the geotargeted URL. Instead, if you opted to not use the hreflang, people will see the canonical URL snippet (web address included).

Maybe the best solution is using a tool like this one by MediaFlow: http://www.themediaflow.com/resources/tools/href-lang-tool/.

You feed the tool with an .csv file and it returns you with a sitemaps.xml with all the hreflang annotations included.

Mmm... tricky question, as I usually don't like to have the currency changing depending on IP. Therefore, I don't if my idea is correct and surely should need to be tested.

As you probably know, the Schema.org/Offer preview the mark up for currencies.

What I'd probably do should be calling the product description, photo, prices and currencies with a PHP call (if your site is on php), and the code snippet called would be mark-up with the Schema.org corresponding to the "country".

Hi!

Living in Spain and knowing very well the Spanish SEO community, I can offer you some names to follow on Twitter (you can eventually translate their tweets if they are in Spanish).

• Miguel Pasqual,
• Jorge Gonzalez,
• Aleyda Solis (obviously). She also publish on Stateofdigital.com a column in English about the best SEO related posts published in Spain,
• Ivo Campos,
• Raquel Franco,
• Fernando Maciá,
• Adrián Segovia,
• Maria José Chacon,
• Fernando Muñoz,
• Miguel Lopez
• Edgar Sanchez
• Christian Oliveira
• Sergio Simarro
• Clinic SEO

This is a short list from where starting knowing the SEO community in Spain.

My suggestion: create a Twitter list with those names, and from there discover other people.

In Spain doesn't exist a site as Moz, with an equivalent "web based" community. SEOs in Spain are not so many, hence they tend to meet up at conferences (which are proportionally much more than in the USA, I suspect).

The SEO community here is very technical oriented, with many of them with an engineer background. In that sense they are literally technical marketers.
