Our website serves a global market and over a year ago, we launched 8 language variations of the site and implemented hreflang tags.
These language variation pages are proving difficult to maintain, and in Search Console they're triggering thousands of errors. I have double checked our implementation and it's not perfect, so I understand the errors.
Here's the question though... the 8 language variations of the site are receiving less than 1% of our web traffic despite 40% of our web traffic coming from countries outside of North America every month. I want to know if we can eliminate the headache of these 8 language variations altogether, remove our attempt at hreflang, and simply rely on the browser settings of the user to dictate what language the website appears in for them?
If not, is there a simpler solution than hreflang and attempting to maintain a very large website in 8 languages?
Thank for your input!
Niki
