Codes / de

hreflang="de"

de is a valid hreflang value for German.

Example

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="https://example.com/de/" />

The code is case-insensitive for Google. The conventional spelling is a lowercase language, a title-case script and an uppercase region: de.

Without a region, the annotation targets every German speaker regardless of country. Regional versions sit next to the language-only version in one cluster.
