What is Canonical URL?
The preferred URL for a piece of content, declared via rel=canonical, preventing duplicate-content dilution.
In more depth
Each language version should self-canonicalize. Never canonical all languages to the default — that deindexes your translations.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding Canonical URL helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
