When authoring site meta data, if targeting an international market of English-speakers, is it better to use the common en_US
, or simply en
, or is there some locale code for specifying that the region is global?
Additionally, when I use the broad term "better", in the case that "more accurate of description" and "more effective for SEO" are not necessarily the same thing, please elaborate on the differences.
en_US
specifically means English as spoken in the US. If you do not need to specify a given country, don't include it in the locale.en
? Or is there a global region code I should use?en
is a valid language tag (as isen_US
of course), only the first part is mandaty (en
) the rest, like a country, is optional. No need of a global region code.en
is valid and means "all around the world/no specific country".
