Hey grocare, Its a little bit confusing what you are saying because canonicals are used when there is actual duplicate between pages. Internationalization is a specific case where two pages targetting different countries **ARE NOT **duplicate content, even there are really small differences. I don't see that you are having an issue with canonical setup, as long as you are using them correctly. More info about canonicals: What Google says officially: Consolidate URLs with rel=canonical A Moz resource: Canonical tags - Best practice Moz What I did see is that you are using hreflang tags incorrectly: pointing to the home page. Consider THIS PAGE, for instance, your hreflang tags are: When it actually should be pointing to the current page: Its always good to remember that there are some really good resources about internationalization: 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. Gaston

It's all good. Yeap, both hreflang tags in both pages. Think it this way: One hreflang is telling the actual language of the page. The other is telling that there is a version in other language. Best luck! Gaston
