Hello,

We are developers who have been using the qtranslate module for website development on WordPress for quite some time. We consider it to be one of the best solutions available, as it efficiently conserves server resources for multilingual websites. The module has been well-designed and is user-friendly.

However, as mentioned earlier, the issue we've encountered with hREFLang links poses challenges for SEO optimizers and prevents us from properly configuring the language versions of our site for Google. This problem is quite significant, and resolving it on our own is beyond our capabilities. We are also hesitant to delve into the code of third-party developers.

We would greatly appreciate your assistance in identifying and addressing this issue. It is a pressing matter, as SEO specialists working on various websites are unable to complete their tasks and are requesting developers to resolve the situation.

Please help us find a solution to this problem. Your assistance is invaluable to us.

Can you double check this issue does not happen also with slugs module disabled?
Slugs module should not do anything different from core plugin as per #1359 (comment) with hreflang.
