Use hreflang language or hreflang language & country code

[jorisbrabants]

Hi,

our website has 7 languages, but only one English version (site.com/en).

When I add a hreflang tag below, is it enough to just target English search queries no matter where they come from by using only the language code, or should I specify all countries (UK, USA, Ireland, Australia, NZ, ...) by using separate hreflangs?

Same for Portuguese, Dutch & French... Should I just add the language tags or specify all countries? Like I said, we don't have localized versions for those countries, with specific content targeting those countries.

Gianluca already provided me with a lot of good info in another question which covered the same topic. Thanks for the info

I would only list the other href lang tags where you have really a different translation.
