Hreflang note
Every localized page should reference the same alternate set, including itself and x-default when used. This generator only formats tags; it does not verify live pages.
HTML link tags
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/tools" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-US" href="https://example.com/us/tools" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="zh-CN" href="https://example.com/zh-cn/tools" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/tools" />
Sitemap xhtml rows
<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/tools" /> <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-US" href="https://example.com/us/tools" /> <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="zh-CN" href="https://example.com/zh-cn/tools" /> <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/tools" />
A hreflang tag generator creates alternate language or regional URL tags for multilingual pages.
It helps teams prepare consistent tag sets before implementation or release QA.
Localized page URLs
Use final absolute URLs for each language or regional version.
Clear locale codes
Use codes such as en, en-US, zh-CN, or x-default for fallback pages.
Rows are converted into HTML link tags for page heads and xhtml link rows for sitemap entries.
It does not fetch pages, validate reciprocal deployment, or test search engine interpretation.
Use this after URL planning and before implementation, especially when every localized page needs the same alternate set.
Pair it with Canonical URL Generator when each locale also needs a clean self-canonical URL.
Localization QA
Prepare alternate tags for pages with language or regional variants.
Sitemap alternates
Generate xhtml rows for XML sitemap planning notes.
Release checklists
Copy expected hreflang output into launch tickets or QA docs.
x-default planning
Add a fallback URL for language selectors or global landing pages.
Example
en, en-US, zh-CN, and x-default rows become alternate link tags.
Assumption
Every URL is the final public URL for that localized page.
Limitation
The tool does not confirm reciprocal tags, HTTP status, canonical consistency, or indexability.
Does this tool fetch URLs?
It generates tags from pasted locale and URL pairs in the browser based on the current public implementation. It does not crawl or fetch URLs.
Should every page include itself?
Yes. Hreflang sets usually include the current page plus every alternate version.
Can I use x-default?
Yes. Add an x-default row for the fallback URL.
Can this validate live hreflang deployment?
No. Use a crawler or search console workflow after publishing.
