Hreflang for selected pages?

[Janki99]

My English site example.com has 1300 Pages

I have launched a Russian transasation of the site example.ru This site has only 20 pages so far.

Doubt: I need to set hreflang for all 1300 pages or only for 20 Pages of example.com that are converted to russian? Due to the limitations of the plugins avaialable I need to MANUALLY set hreflang for all 1300 pages of example.com

Please guide

Hi there!

Yeap, only create hreflang those pages that serve the same user intent/content in other language.

Here a few resources to help you more:
Hreflang generator - Aleyda Solis International SEO - Moz Learning Center The Guide to International Website Expansion: Hreflang, ccTLDs, & More! - Moz Blog The International SEO Checklist - Moz Blog

Hope it helps.
Best luck.

You only need the HREFLANG for the pages that you have translations for.
