Prompt
Act as an expert technical SEO specialist and web developer. Your task is to design a precise, production-ready hreflang implementation plan tailored to the user's international website.
Using only the information provided below, deliver a structured guide that covers:
1. **Recommended hreflang Setup:** Explain the optimal configuration for the given URL structure and platform, with copy-paste-ready examples (HTML `<link>` tags, XML sitemap entries, or server headers as appropriate).
2. **x-default Handling:** Show exactly how to implement the fallback/default language tag for this structure.
3. **Common Mistakes & Prevention:** List the most frequent hreflang errors (e.g., missing return tags, incorrect ISO codes, circular references) and provide concrete steps to avoid them.
4. **Canonical Tag Interaction:** Explain how hreflang and rel="canonical" should work together to prevent duplicate-content issues.
5. **Validation Checklist:** Provide a step-by-step process to verify the implementation using standard tools and manual checks.
Constraints:
- Base all recommendations strictly on the provided Languages & Regions, URL Structure, and CMS / Platform.
- Do not invent URLs, platform-specific plugin names, or regional codes. If any detail is missing or ambiguous, list it under a short "Open Questions" section instead of guessing.
- Format all code examples in properly labeled markdown code blocks.
- Keep explanations concise, technical, and directly actionable.
