Hello all,
I am building a dual language website. Englisch (root) German (subfolder) no subdomain.
1. Is it neccessary to implement the hreflang on each page? If yes, what is the best way to do that?
2. Is using a 2nd xml sitemap a better and easier choice?
Like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>
<xhtml:link
rel="alternate"
hreflang="de"
href="http://www.example.com/de/"
/>
<xhtml:link
rel="alternate"
hreflang="en"
href="http://www.example.com/"
/>
</url>
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.com/de/</loc>
<xhtml:link
rel="alternate"
hreflang="en"
href="http://www.example.com//"
/>
<xhtml:link
rel="alternate"
hreflang="de"
href="http://www.example.com/de/"
/>
</url>
Other ideas???
Thanks in advance,
Oliver

I didn't want to leave this with no reply, but I really don't have an answer to your question. My experience in crafting dual-language websites is almost nonexistent, and what little I know about it is entirely based on reading about it.
We have kicked around a few ideas on how we might offer better multi-language support in future versions, but haven't yet made such additions a certainty, and IF we pursue such features, it likely wouldn't be until we're into 2.0 development or after.

Hi Matt,
thank you for your reply!
As far as I figure out how it works I will post it here.
Other suggestions welcome.
Best regards,
Oliver
