Hi
A correct and valid canonical would be good, when needed. But the one Joomla generates through the SFE plugin is not good enough and you are better off removing it, regardless of your issue with URL encoding.Considering all this complexity, with your info about how canonical links matters for our preferred search engine, I have removed the domain name in the SEF plugin.
In my many years with Joomla and Joomla multilingual sites, I have found that Joomla's implementation is very good and does not show the problems you mention.I think Joomla still has some room for improvement in its multilingual
That's unlikely and will definitely would not happen with a site done "according to Joomla ML standard". It looks more like you have issues in your menu configuration. I'd suggest reviewing all that, and especially the fact you have proper home menu items in each languages, and proper associations where needed.What also bothers me is that the hreflang tag testing tools (https://technicalseo.com/tools/hreflang/) recommended by Google (https://developers.google.com/search/do ... n-mistakes) give me errors like :
- “Self-referencing: Missing” for the url tested
- "Missing return link” for every url quoted in ‘alternate hreflang’ in the url tested (i.e. all other languages).
- plus obviously a mismanaged “x-default”.
All this while scrupulously using the Joomla multilingual standard.
