Still relevant - very important for multilang sites.

Temporary solution

Inject hreflang into the html header until this issue is resolved:

`

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);
    // Temporary solution: provides html hreflang until sitemap fixed in DNN 10 (?) -> https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform/issues/2819
    var smProv = new DotNetNuke.Services.Sitemap.CoreSitemapProvider();
    var smUrls = new List<DotNetNuke.Services.Sitemap.SitemapUrl>();
    try
    {
        smUrls = smProv.GetUrls(PortalSettings.PortalId, PortalSettings, "0.9");
        foreach (DotNetNuke.Services.Sitemap.SitemapUrl url in smUrls)
        {
            if (url.Url == Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + Request.Url.Authority + Request.RawUrl)
            {
                foreach (DotNetNuke.Services.Sitemap.AlternateUrl alt in url.AlternateUrls)
                {
                    AttachCustomHeader("<link rel='alternate' hreflang='" + alt.Language.Substring(0,2) + "' href='" + alt.Url + "' />");
                }
            }
        }
    }
    catch
    {
    }

protected void AttachCustomHeader(string CustomHeader) { HtmlHead HtmlHead = (HtmlHead)Page.FindControl("Head"); if ((HtmlHead != null)) { HtmlHead.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(CustomHeader)); } }

This bot is boring.

[valadas]

This bot was introduced to help with triage. Issues that have no activity for some time are marked to try and catch some attention for a contribution. Comments like this one only make the bot useless and clutter the backlog. This issue has been here for almost 3 years now and nobody contributed either in code or financially to someone who can work on making that code happen. @Navilois can you make your code comment a PR please, this would be awesome...
