Are Hreflang Language Codes values case sensitive?
It is recommended by ISO 3166 convention that hreflang language codes are lowercase and hreflang country codes are uppercase.
Hreflang x-default
The hreflang=”x-default” can be used in place of a hreflang language and location to signal to search engines a default page that does not target any specific location or language. It’s a catch-all.
