Hi

Does virtuemart support hreflang on product detail?

I have enabled System - Language Filter and add alternate meta tags to yes., but on product detail page I can see in source only this line

Just an additional note: The hreflang tag is primarily used by Google to RESTRICT content in a certain language to one country. Joomla by default uses a two letter language code plus the two letter ISO country code. Thus using lang="en-GB" tells Google that the page content is primarily addressing people in the U.K and for example de-DE addresses German people.

So in my opinion one should only use hreflang if you want to address certain countries. If you want to address also the USA, Australia, etc. one should use only lang="en". And in case of German use lang="de". With lang="de-DE" you might restrict the page display in Austria (lang="de-AT") and Switzerland (lang="de-CH").


Non-English Shops: Are your language files up to date?

If you use my language switcher module, it add the href for all the alternate language you have.
Eg in my site
<link href="https://shop.st42.fr/fr/produits" rel="alternate" hreflang="fr">
for english page https://shop.st42.fr/en/products.
The <html lang="en-gb"> already explain to google that your page is in en-GB language, so you dont need an extra tag or meta.

I don't think it will support because it's country specific.
My language module support it http://shop.st42.fr/en/categories-tools/multi-language-for-virtuemart.htm
