    Default Multilingual sites and SEO

    What is the impact of multilingual versions of Contao pages on SEO? Do the web crawlers see two pages with the same content but different language as two different web pages? I suppose they do, so is it neccessary or recommendable to tag one of them as canonical page of original version (fallback page)?

    On other hand I can see something like this in Page Source

    Code:
    <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" lang="en" href="index.php/en/page" title="Page title">
    <link rel="alternate" hreflang="sr" lang="sr" href="index.php/sr/page" title="Page title">
    so is it possible that Contao already gives a proper information to search robots?

    Not sure but I think so. Additionaly you can create separate sitemaps in each website root - sitemap-en, sitemap-ba ...
