About
Multi-language websites provide content in multiple languages or regional versions.
They typically specify alternate pages for other languages or regions using the HTML <link rel="alternate"> element with the hreflang attribute, which allows search engines to identify and serve the most appropriate version to users.
Robots directives are instructions delivered through the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header that control how search engines and web crawlers index, cache, and process web content.
They can prevent pages from appearing in search results, restrict link crawling, limit cached copies and search snippets, control image previews, and are recognized by major search engines including
Google and Bing.
