Use hreflang on links without rel alternative?

[Preen]

Does it do any good to use hreflang on links without rel="alternative" ? We have on each page a possibility to go to another language, but the languages root page and not an alternative version of that specific article.

Hi there.

Hreflang must only be used pointing to the same page/article. Not to point to the root/homepage.

does it aswer what you've that what you've asked?

Best Luck.
