Summary: Using nuxt-i18n with a default language and a translated language
Describe the bug
Please check the output index.html at
- either live in your browser
- build the project with
npx nuxt build --preset github_pages
Take a look at the auto-generated <link> elements, especially the rel="alternate" & red="canonical":
<link id="i18n-alt-en" rel="alternate" href="https://example.com/en" hreflang="en">
<link id="i18n-alt-en-US" rel="alternate" href="https://example.com/en" hreflang="en-US">
<link id="i18n-alt-de" rel="alternate" href="https://example.com" hreflang="de">
<link id="i18n-alt-de-DE" rel="alternate" href="https://example.com" hreflang="de-DE">
<link id="i18n-xd" rel="alternate" href="https://example.com" hreflang="x-default">
<link id="i18n-can" rel="canonical" href="https://example.com">Notice, that the same URL https://example.com is being referred to, from:
<link id="i18n-xd" rel="alternate" href="https://example.com" hreflang="x-default">
<link id="i18n-can" rel="canonical" href="https://example.com">
<link id="i18n-alt-de" rel="alternate" href="https://example.com" hreflang="de">
That leads in SEO indexing/crawling, to an issue:
- Bing Webmaster tools are complaining about the canonical link, referring to a link that is already marked as an alternative translation
- Google Search Console is complaining about the same issue
URL that I requested indexing for: https://waldemarenns.de/
Bing Webmaster Tools:
URL cannot be indexed by Bing
The URL is not indexable as the page is an alternate version of the similar page which you have specified as canonical version using a <link rel="canonical"> tag. Bing does not index the alternate version.
Canonical URL :https://waldemarenns.de/en

Google Page Speed Insights:
Document does not have a valid rel=canonicalPoints to another `hreflang` location (https://waldemarenns.de/)
