Hello, I have a WordPress multisite include 4 sites, 4 languages (Hebrew is the main language, Russian, Arabic, and English)

I asked the client to add hreflang Tags, which should tell to google what is the main language is Hebrew and avoid duplicate content
now the keywords that are promoted are in Arabic + English, and there are only a few week keywords on the main language

the programist told that he add some tags to the site:
Code:
<!--[if IE 7]><html class="ie ie7" lang="en-US"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]><html class="ie ie8" lang="en-US"><![endif]-->
<!--[if !(IE 7) | !(IE 8) ]><!-->
<html lang="en-US">

and he tell that is the tags code, but I think that the tags tell to google that the main language is English (or I wrong?)
I think that those tags are different... (or I wrong?)

can someone please have a look at the site - page source?

what is the right way to make HREFLANG Tags on that site?
can someone explain to me please how it works?

and what is the recommended way to build a site with a few languages? (is it better to build the site with multisite? or there are some plugins for that?)

yes that tags says that the page is in english... the idea behind ahreflang tags is to let google know that that page has versions in other languages... so the english page will include ahreflang tag that points to the other equal pages in the other languages... and those will point to the english version also...

on those pages the html lang tag should be in the true url language
