FAQ

Q: What is the exact character limit for hreflang tags in HTML?

A: There is no HTML spec limit, but Google’s crawler documentation advises keeping individual hreflang directives under 150 bytes to prevent log rotation truncation and ensure reliable indexing.

Q: Can I use regional variants like “en-US” with this generator?

A: Yes, the tool accepts two-letter language codes followed by hyphens and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes (e.g., en-GB, es-MX), but it still validates the base language segment against its internal registry.

Q: How does the tool handle conflicting canonical vs hreflang URLs?

A: If a subpage URL exactly matches the canonical field, the generator appends a #hreflang anchor note and highlights a yellow warning row to prompt manual review before export.

Q: Why does my language code show a red validation error?

A: The validator cross-references the official ISO 639-1 maintenance agency list; correct case sensitivity, replace deprecated legacy codes like “iw” with “he”, and remove numeric codes (ISO 639-2/3) unless specifically required by the target platform.
