Adding Weglot to your Webflow website is a simple process that allows you to easily translate your site into multiple languages. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of integrating Weglot into Webflow, ensuring that your website is accessible to a wider audience.
Step 1: Create a Weglot Account
If you haven’t already, start by creating an account on the Weglot website. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be able to access your Weglot dashboard, where you can manage all aspects of your translation settings.
Step 2: Install the Weglot Script
To begin the integration process, log in to your Webflow account and select the project that you want to add Weglot to. In the project dashboard, click on “Project Settings” in the top-right corner.
In the Project Settings menu, navigate to the “Custom Code” tab. Here, you’ll find options for adding custom code snippets to your site’s header and footer sections.
Locate the “Head Code” section and paste the following code snippet:
<script src="https://cdn.weglot.com/weglot.min.js"></script>Note:
Make sure to include this script at the top of your <head> tag so that it loads before any other scripts or stylesheets.
Step 3: Configure Your Languages
Now that you’ve installed the Weglot script, it’s time to configure your language settings. Go back to your Weglot dashboard and click on “Configure Languages.”
You’ll see a list of available languages. Select the languages that you want to translate your site into and click on the “Save” button.
Step 4: Customize the Language Switcher
Weglot provides a customizable language switcher that allows users to easily switch between different translations of your website. By default, it appears as a small flag icon in the bottom corner of your site.
To customize the language switcher, go to your Weglot dashboard and click on “Language Switcher”. Here, you can choose from various display options and customize its appearance to match your website’s design.
Step 5: Publish Your Webflow Site
After completing the previous steps, save your changes in Webflow and publish your site. The Weglot script will automatically detect all the text content on your website and provide translations based on the languages you’ve configured.
Note:
Remember to review and proofread your translations to ensure accuracy. You can do this by going back to your Weglot dashboard and selecting “Translations” from the menu.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully added Weglot to your Webflow website.
With Weglot’s powerful translation capabilities, you can now reach a wider audience by providing multiple language options for your visitors. Remember to regularly update and maintain your translations as you make changes to your site’s content. Happy translating!
