Currently, the rel=canonical tag is automatically added to pages and is self-referencing. This creates problems for multi-lingual sites.


Example: A website available in English and French


For every url that is created in the first language, 365 Commerce automatically creates a matching url in the second language, and vice versa. As a result, we end up with four urls total, even though there are only two pages of content (An English version, and a French version):


  1. example.com/page-name
  2. example.com/french/page-name
  3. example.com/translated-page-name
  4. example.com/french/translated-page-name


Each of these pages appears to contain a self-referencing rel=canonical tag, which tells search engines to index all four pages when we only want to index two:

  1. example.com/page-name
  2. example.com/french/translated-page-name


We'd like the ability to specify the canonical url in sitebuilder.
