 * Dear David,
 * How to add the language declaration (en, es, it, etc) on each page? Is it something
   I have to add manually?

 * Hi Fabrizio,
 * No, you can use the plugin to add the self-referenced tag, the same way to do
   with the alternate tag. Just click the plus (+) sign next the first tag you added.
 * Please let me know if this isn’t clear.

 * Hello David,
 * Just did it but still not fully working. In each page (EN and NL) I added two“
   Alternative URL”: one linking to the other language and the other a self-reference(
   basically the link of the current language). The [http://technicalseo.com/seo-tools/hreflang/](http://technicalseo.com/seo-tools/hreflang/)
   still gives me an error.
 * Please check for yourself whether it is not too much troubles [http://fabriziophotos.com/we-do-day-wedding-photography/](http://fabriziophotos.com/we-do-day-wedding-photography/)(
   this is the EN page)
 * Thanks again

 * Hi Fabrizio,
 * Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I own and operate a web/app development
   company so things can get really hectic.
 * To answer your question, I think the validation too is complaining that the default(
   nl) tag is not being declared anywhere on your page.
 * Can you add:
 * `<link rel="alternate" href="http://fabriziophotos.com/we-do-day-wedding-photography/"
   hreflang="nl"/>`
 * to you nl-NL page and let me know if that fixes it?
 * Thanks!
