Multilingual websites are essential for reaching international audiences, increasing engagement, and boosting conversions. Weglot is a leading cloud-based translation platform that automatically detects and translates your content into over 100 languages, lets you fine-tune every phrase with a visual editor, and offers full control over your language switcher’s design and placement.
Weglot provides two integration methods for Onepage - either configure DNS records for language-specific subdomains or subdirectories, or deploy a lightweight JavaScript snippet.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the quick and easy custom-code approach using Weglot’s snippet.

In your new project, choose your site’s original language and then select each additional language you want to support.
Step 4: Enter your website details
On the “Add your website” screen, type your domain (for example, mywebsite.com) and click "Check". Select the Option "Connect my live website" and "Subdirectories".
Step 5: Skip the connection step
In the next step please select the option "skip this step".
Step 6: Install the Weglot snippet in Onepage
In the Weglot dashboard, copy provided JavaScript code.
In Onepage, go to Projects, select your project, and navigate to Settings ➡️ Custom code. Paste the snippet into the <head> section and click Update.
Step 7: Activate the language switcher
Go to your site in Onepage and click "update". Preview your site, then click the language button in the bottom-right corner at least once. This activates your Weglot account and displays the switcher on every page.
Step 8: Capture any missing content
If parts of your site remain untranslated, open your Weglot project’s App Settings, add a Dynamic Rule targeting the body selector, then save. Weglot will re-scan and translate all matching elements.
Step 9: Manage translations and design
Edit translations: Use the Visual Editor in Weglot to review and adjust any automatic translations directly on your live pages.
Customize the switcher: Open the Switcher Editor in Weglot to change the look, position, and style of your language button.
For SEO-friendly URL structures using subdirectories or subdomains, follow the guide from Weglot: How do I set up my DNS?
🎉 Congratulation! Your page has a new language switcher!
