What are the red rows in my project?

If you open the VIEW screen for your Hreflang Builder project with one or more “red rows,” it is because Hreflang Builder cannot detect the country or language of that source file and needs you to set it manually.

For example, if your site uses the format of www.mysite.com/ar/page.html and you indicate you are using language folders, Hrelang Builder would interpret the /ar/ folder as Arabic but does not know for which country. You can set it to Arabic language but the system does not want to make that decision for you.

Similarly, if you had set the structure insulating the /ar/representing a country, the system would not assume what language the website is in. You would need to indicate that this Argentia site is in Spanish or whatever the actual language is.

You can remove “red rows” by manually setting the country or language; click the blue EDIT button to bring up the entry for this source file.  

In the Country Language option, click the Country Language selector and start typing the country name or scroll to find the appropriate country and language combination. If you need to set a language only, you can scroll to find the global language option for that language.

 For example, if the source file is for your French language site, you should select “Global French” and Hreflang Builder will set it to French language and create the hreflang entry designating the language <link rel=”alternate” hreflang=”fr” href=”https://www.example.com/fr/” />
