Hreflang and locale alternative graph
Which localized documents are alternatives for the same user task?
Researched designNot deployed
Question§
Which localized documents are alternatives for the same user task?
Nodes§
Localized page; Language; Region; Alternate group
Relationship sketch§
- page → locale
- page → alternate page
Evidence inputs§
Actual translated/localized pages and annotations, canonical policy, language/region intent.
Implementation§
Validate reciprocal alternative sets under the current implementation method. Do not confuse localization with location claims or populate a graph using untranslated duplicate pages.
Acceptance checks§
- Alternate URLs resolve as intended
- Annotation sets are consistent and reciprocal where required
- Language/region intent matches actual content
Do not infer§
An alternate language page is not a different business entity.
Publication boundary§
Appropriate locale annotations public.
