The rel="alternate" hreflang="x" help Google serve the correct language or regional URL to searchers

If a Website have different URL's (or) sub-domains for targeting different regions with different speaking languages people, using this rel="alternate" hreflang="x" tag helps to show the webpages for Google searchers with their unique language from there search location

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="http://es.example.com/" />

--> You can use rel="alternate" tag for following reasons

For User Generated Content Website - If a website get content from users E.g Forums, Blog etc Just translate navigation and footer and have the main content in single language
Your pages have broadly similar content within a single language, but the content has small variations for each regions, here you can use the rel="alternate" for targeting each region
If the entire website is translated for each region For E.g To Target French speaking people the entire website is translated to french language, there we can use the rel="alternate" tag

Using rel="alternate" in the following places

HTML link element. In the HTML <head> section of http://www.example.com/, add a link element pointing to the Spanish version of that webpage E.g if a page is built in Spanish version like http://es.example.com/, use
```
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="http://es.example.com/" />
```
HTTP header. If you publish non-HTML files (like PDFs), you can use an HTTP header to indicate a different language version of a URL:
```
Link: <http://es.example.com/>; rel="alternate"; hreflang="es"
```
Sitemap. Instead of using markup, you can submit language version information in a Sitemap.

If you have several alternate URLs targeted at users with the same language but in different locales, it's a good idea to provide a generic URL for geographically unspecified users. For example, you may have specific URLs for English speakers in Ireland (en-ie), Canada (en-ca), and Australia (en-au), but want all other English speakers to see your generic English (en) page. In this case you should specify the generic English-language (en) page for searchers in, say, the UK.

Examples

http://www.example.com/page.html English-language homepage. Contains information about fees for shipping internationally from the USA.
http://en-gb.example.com/page.html English-language; displays prices in pounds sterling.
http://en-us.example.com/page.html English-language; displays prices in US dollars.
http://de.example.com/seite.html German-language version of the content

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://www.example.com/page.html" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-gb" href="http://en-gb.example.com/page.html" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="http://en-us.example.com/page.html" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="http://de.example.com/seite.html" />

Creating Sitemap with rel="alternate" hreflang="x"

Imagine you have an English language page, targeted at English speakers worldwide. You also have equivalent versions of this page targeted at German speakers worldwide, and German speakers located in Switzerland. Your full set of URLs is:

www.example.com/english/
www.example.com/deutsch/
www.example.com/schweiz-deutsch/

The sitemap should be created in this format

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

                 />
  </url>
  
</urlset>

This example uses the language code de for the URL targeted at German speakers anywhere, and the language-locale code de-ch for German speakers in Switzerland. If you have several alternate URLs targeted at users with the same language but in different locales, it's a good idea to provide a URL for geographically unspecified users. For example, you may have specific URLs for English speakers in Ireland (en-ie), Canada (en-ca), and Australia (en-au), but want all other English speakers to see your generic English (en) page. In this case you should specify the generic English-language (en) page for searchers in, say, the UK.
