Add hreflang for a multilingual site on OpenCart 4

The hreflang attribute is intended for marking identical pages in different languages and for different regions. With its help, you can indicate to search bots that these pages are related, and their content is intended for specific languages and regions. To add hreflang to OpenCart 4, you need to install the module, write in the settings the language-region targeting codes you need for each site localization.

An example of attributes that the extension can add to the head block of the site:

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://opencartbot.net/">

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="https://opencartbot.net/en/">

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="uk-ua" href="https://opencartbot.net/ua/">

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="pl" href="https://opencartbot.net/pl/">

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="cs" href="https://opencartbot.net/cz/">

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="https://opencartbot.net/de/">

** The URL templates does not depend on this extension, it receives URLs from the OpenCart, so if the URLs look different on your site, it is not a problem, URLs formed according to your rules will be added to hreflang.

The extension allows you to manually write the locale and region code for each localization in hreflang, but it is very important not to make a mistake and do it correctly. In the hreflang attribute, you must specify the language in which the page is created. You can also specify the region for which the content is intended, but this is not mandatory. If only the language code is specified, it will not be an error, but it will only mean that your content is aimed at the audience with the specified language, without reference to regions or countries.

The module also allows you to write x-default as a hreflang code for one of the languages, or choose which localization will also be duplicated with the x-default code. This code is recommended for fallback localization, for users who have set language settings that do not match any of your site's localizations. That is, it should be a universal localized version.
