: Google Search Console no hreflang return tag I am trying to add herflang in my website, but I got some errors on google search console. URLs for your site and alternate URLs in 'zh-Hans-CN'

@Bryan171

I do not think you can do want you are hoping to do. It needs to be an actual translation with its own directory at minimum. It is all there in the link you shared.

So even if you were able to make a second translation, if generated it will not be effective. Pseudo Translations come with far too many errors and is also not considered a good version of the language.

On top of that. From Google.


Q: Can I use automated translations?

A: Yes, but they must be blocked from indexing with the “noindex”
robots meta tag. We consider automated translations to be
auto-generated content, so allowing them to be indexed would be a
violation of our Webmaster Guidelines.


I am sorry.

You should have different URL for different language, that is how Google know your all alternative pages with different languages.

You're doing same mistake like this guy did.
