Posted in: #Multilingual #RelAlternate #Seo

I have a multilingual site and I have the following <link rel="alternate" > in the head section.

<link href="http://www.example.com/en" rel="canonical" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://www.example.com/en" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ja" href="http://www.example.com/ja" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="zh-CN" href="http://www.example.com/zh-CN" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ko" href="http://www.example.com/ko" />
<link rel="alternate" href="http://www.example.com" hreflang="x-default" />

I have read several articles including Google guidelines, but I'm still confusing to include the current language code for rel="alternate".

In the example above, the current languague is en. Should I include <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://www.example.com/en" />?

Yes! In a recent blog post we mentioned:

Your [rel-alternate-hreflang] annotations should be self-referential. Page A should use rel-alternate-hreflang annotation linking to itself.
