Hreflang many to one relationship (And canonical)

[Peekabo]

I have a question about the use of hreflang.

In country one i have for instance

web.one/BlueWidget    web.one/YellowWidgetIn country (and language) two I have   web.two/Widget In other words, the distinction between yellow and blue isn't there in country two. My best try would beweb.one/BlueWidget  two" href="<a>http://</a>web.two/Widget" />web.one/YellowWidget  <link rel="<a>alternate" hreflang="two" href="<a>http://</a>web.two/Widget" /></link rel="<a> <link rel="<a>canonical" href="web.one/BlueWidget"/></link rel="<a>web.two/Widget   <link rel="<a>alternate" hreflang="one" href="web.one/BlueWidget" />    </link rel="<a> <link rel="<a>canonical" href="web.two/Widget "/></link rel="<a>So pointing both blue and yellow to the Widget in country two, and pointing widget in country two to Blue widget in country one, as BlueWidget is what I would prefer to promote if I had to choose.What do people think? Is this the way to go? If so, why? If not, why?And is it actually worth bothering with? Will country two get a boost because I get links to country one?

Is the widget page a straight translation of the blue widget page? And I assume the yellow widget page is the same as blue, just yellow. I am not sure I'd do an hreflang on the yellow one in that case.

If widget is a different page than blue widget, this won't work well and I assume in the future you might get in trouble for it.
