What does the Hreflang Tag Generator do?

If you have the same content in several languages or for different countries — for example English for Pakistan and English for the UK — hreflang annotations tell Google which version to show which users. This tool validates ISO 639-1 language codes and optional ISO 3166-1 region codes (en-GB, ur-PK), normalises their casing and adds an x-default fallback.

Output as HTML link tags for each page’s , or as XML sitemap entries — useful for large sites.

How to use the Hreflang Tag Generator

  1. Enter each version as “language-region | URL”, one per line.
  2. Add an x-default URL for users who do not match any version.
  3. Choose HTML tags or sitemap XML.
  4. Add the same full set to every language version.

Examples

Pakistan + UK

en-pk | https://example.com/pk/, en-gb | https://example.com/uk/, ur-pk | https://example.com/ur/ plus x-default.
