Hreflang Tag Generator
Create hreflang tags for sites with several languages or regions, such as English and Hindi versions of a page. Add each version and get HTML tags or XML sitemap entries with code checks.
How to use the hreflang generator
- List each version of the page with its language or language-region code and URL.
- Add an x-default URL, usually your main English page or a language selector.
- Copy the tags into the head of every version, or use the sitemap format.
Hreflang codes
| Code | Means |
|---|---|
| en | English, any region |
| en-IN | English for India |
| hi-IN | Hindi for India |
| en-GB | English for the UK (not en-UK) |
| x-default | Fallback for everyone else |
Language uses ISO 639-1 codes and region uses ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes. A region alone, like IN, is not valid.
Do you need hreflang?
Only if you have the same content in different languages or for different countries, such as English and Hindi versions of a course page. A single-language site for India does not need hreflang. Hinglish content written in Roman script is usually treated as English or Hindi by context, so focus on clear content instead.
