Hi,

I read on [Multi-language Content - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/features/multi-language-content) that Hubspot default multi-language functionality automatically adds an _hreflang_ tag tag to the pages with a choosen language:

`<link rel="alternate" hreflang="lang_code" href="url_of_page" />`

However, is it possible to add this tag dynamically to the header of a theme if not used the language variation functionality?

Lets say that I have 3 websites (3 different subdomains) called:

[https://english.domain.com](https://english.domain.com)

[https://spanish.domain.com](https://spanish.domain.com)

[https://german.domain.com](https://german.domain.com)

They all use the same shared design theme/templates.

How can I add/code a dynamic hreflang tag for all websites in my shared theme?

The only tag I have right now is:

`<html lang="{{ html_lang }}" {{ html_lang_dir }}>`

but that does not add the hreflang tag.

Thanks

Hi @TomasCarlsson ,

you could do something like this:

```lia-code-sample
{% set href_plain = '//' ~ request.domain ~ '/' %}

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="{{ href_plain }} ~ /en" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="{{ href_plain }} ~ /es" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="pt" href="{{ href_plain }} ~ /pt" />

```
