Problem testing icelandic, swedish and traditional Chinese

Hi hurra03,

The error message you are receiving, ‘The language-region code has no stand-alone language code…’ simply indicates you are using a region code, i.e. zh-hant, and not also using the default zh code.

Here are your existing tags:

I would suggest you add:

<link rel="alternate" href="https://alteregovoices.com/rostartist" hreflang="sv" />
<link rel="alternate" href="https://alteregovoices.com/%e8%8b%b1%e5%9b%bd%e5%a5%b3%e6%80%a7%e9%85%8d%e9%9f%b3%e4%b8%93%e5%ae%b6" hreflang="zh" />

That should clear up the validation issues.

Hi,

I have the same issue with Swedish – ‘The language-region code has no stand-alone language code…’

I am choosing Swedish from the provided dropdown list. How can I change it to ′sv′instead of the default ′sv-se′?

Can you not provide ′sv′ on the drop down list??

Thanks
