Key Principles
• Self-Referencing: Every language variant page must reference itself AND all other variations.
• x-default: Use `hreflang="x-default"` for default landing pages not targeted to any specific language or region.
• Dual Links: Always output symmetrical links (if page A links to page B, page B must link back to page A).
