Lovable has translated its pricing page into 10 languages and lists /pt-br/pricing in the Portuguese sitemap at priority 0.9 with hreflang alternates. But every translated pricing page tells search engines the opposite: its canonical tag points to the English /pricing and it carries no hreflang links. Search engines usually follow the canonical, so a Brazilian searching "Lovable precos" is likely to land on the English page in dollars. The guides and blog hubs in the same languages are set up correctly, so this is one template, not a policy.
First action
Change the canonical on /pt-br/pricing to itself and add the hreflang set.

Why it works
Change the pricing template so each language version has a self-referencing canonical and the same 11-language hreflang set (plus x-default) the guides hub already uses. Then request indexing for /pt-br/pricing first, because Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing markets and has a dedicated growth lead. Check every other translated template (students, build pages, use cases) for the same pattern, and add a sitemap-vs-canonical check to the release checklist so the two cannot disagree again.
Pricing is the highest-intent page on the site. A Portuguese, Spanish or Japanese visitor who sees prices and plan terms in their own language is more likely to sign up, and the translation work is already paid for. It is also exactly the canonicals and hreflang work the new organic search hire is asked to own.

ChecklistTranslated pricing fix
[ ] Canonical on /<lang>/pricing points to itself [ ] hreflang set for all 11 languages + x-default [ ] Sitemap alternates match the page tags [ ] Same check on /students, /build/*, /use-cases/* [ ] Indexing requested, Portuguese first [ ] Build fails if a sitemap URL canonicalizes elsewhere
Risks and how to handle them
The English canonical was deliberate (one page to rank)
Keep x-default on English; the translated pages still need their own canonical to be shown in their language.
Plan prices load only in the browser
Do idea 2 at the same time so the indexed page includes prices.
Evidence
- Your websiteTranslated pricing pages (checked twice on October 22, 2026): /pt-br/pricing, /fr/pricing, /de/pricing, /es/pricing, /ja/pricing, /ko/pricing and /hi/pricing are fully translated (for example "Precos da Lovable" in Portuguese), but each page's canonical tag points to the English https://lovable.dev/pricing and the page carries no hreflang links. The Portuguese sitemap lists /pt-br/pricing at priority 0.9 with hreflang alternates for all 11 languages, and the translated guides and blog hubs (/pt-br/guides, /pt-br/blog) have their own canonical and hreflang links.Source
