Change hreflang localization

Change hreflang localization

TranslatePress sets meta tags inside the html page to help Google and other indexing engines understand the languages and locations that a specific page is available in.

The hreflang attribute is a part of this meta tag where the language and location are specified.

You can change it using a bit of coding:

1. Create an empty plugin like this:https://gist.github.com/sareiodata/76f701e01db6685829db

2. Add the following code to the end of it:

add_filter('trp_hreflang', 'trpc_change_hreflang', 10, 2 ); function trpc_change_hreflang( $hreflang, $language ){ if ($language == 'fr_FR'){ // language code that you want to alter // the modified hreflang code you want to display in the page $hreflang = 'fr-CH'; } return $hreflang; }

3. Modify the code by editing the language code and the hreflang code. The rest of the hreflang codes will not change.

4. Install this plugin via FTP (copy it inside wp-content/plugins) or create a zip archive with it and install it via the WordPress plugin upload functionality

SEO Pack

URL slugs

post/page/custom post type/post type base slugs

To translate the above, simply select them from the string list under Meta Information, enter their translation and click 「Save translation」.

The URL slugs can be translated in depth from the String Translation tab.

Multilingual Sitemaps
Using the SEO Pack addon, TranslatePress will extend the Sitemaps functionality added by SEO plugins and automatically create a multilingual sitemap that includes all your translated content.
Your website sitemap will then correctly represent each individual translation.
Multilingual Sitemaps support is available for the most popular SEO plugins:

Yoast SEO
Rank Math
SEOPress
All in One SEO Pack
Squirrly SEO

The translation alternate links are implemented as specified in the Google Webmasters documentation.
Having all the important SEO elements translated, as well as creating a multilingual XML Sitemap will have a major impact on your site ranking into multiple languages.
Translating Slugs

Taxonomy slugs
Term slugs
Post slugs (this includes pages and custom post types)
Post type base slugs
WooCommerce slugs

To translate slugs you need to access the TranslatePress Translation Editor and switch to the String Translation tab (lower left).

Automatic User Language Detection

Automatic User Language Detection

The Automatic User Language Detection Add-on is only available with a Developer or Business license.
Using the Automatic User Language Detection Add-on for TranslatePress, users will be redirected to their preferred language.
First-time visitors will be redirected to their preferred language based on their browser settings or IP address. The language is then saved in a cookie so that any time they return to the website, they will be automatically redirected to their last visited language.
Install the Automatic User Language Detection Add-on
Install and activate a premium version of TranslatePress (Business or Developer). Once installed, go to Settings → TranslatePress in your WordPress dashboard, and then navigate to the Addons tab.

Scroll down to the Automatic User Language Detection Add-on and Activate it here.

Configure your menu items
With the add-on active, you can go to Settings -> TranslatePress and select the method of language detection.
You can choose what method to be considered: their browser language setting, or their IP address.
Selecting the option First by browser language, then IP address will consider the user』s browser language setting. If it doesn』t match any of the site』s available languages selected in TranslatePress settings, then the IP address of the user will be used to determine its preferred language. If this doesn』t match any of the available languages either, then the default language will be displayed to the user or, if the option Use subdirectory for default language is set to Yes, the first language in the Translation Languages option.
Similarly, selecting the option First by IP address, then browser language will determine the language by IP and if that fails then browser language is considered.
Selecting Only by browser language or Only by IP address will not have a fallback user language detection method.

IP address based language
The visitor』s IP address is searched in the GeoLite2 database to determine the country from which the user accessed the website. The country is then searched in the locales code of the selected translation languages in TranslatePress Settings.
This product includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind.
Google Indexing
Google understands browser language redirection and will redirect your users to the specific language URL.
Google can index your site for various IP addresses, but there』s no guarantee for how these redirects will affect your site indexing. This is happening because Google frequently updates its indexing algorithms, so nobody knows exactly how these are working.
You can use Google Webmaster Tool to see how is your site indexed. Also, we recommend reviewing your index status from Webmaster Tool periodically.
One of the best methods to show your users that you have content in their language is to place a language switcher on your site.
Another way could be to first ask your users about the language that they prefer through a welcome page and then show them relevant content in that language.

Automatic Translation

Automatic Translation

The Automatic Translation page from TranslatePress lets you enable and configure the automatic translation of your website content through the available APIs.
The free version of TranslatePress lets you use the Google Translate v2 API, while the paid versions also offer an integration with the DeepL API.

Automatic Translation Settings

There are a few settings that you can configure when setting up the Automatic Translation feature.
Block Crawlers – if you enable this option, crawlers that are indexing your website will not trigger the automatic translation of your website
Limit machine translation / characters per day – this option lets you limit the amount of characters that the plugin translates through the selected translation API each day.
The default limit is set at 1 000 000 characters but you can adjust this to your liking. The main purpose of this option is to limit the overall costs that you experience from the translation API.
Log machine translation queries – this option is only recommended for testing and debugging as it might affect performance.
By enabling it, every request that is made to the selected translation API will be logged in your database so you can inspect it.
