Ability to have your website in multiple languages is very important and while most stick to just one language, English, which is a global language and expected of any website, others need (must have) other language(s) alongside English.

Having your website in multiple languages is very easy for some website builder platforms and extremely difficult for others. In this tutorial, I’m going to share two easy methods to have your weebly website in multiple languages.

The first part of this article will cover using website translation widgets/tools and the second part will cover manually translating your website contents.

Multi Language Weebly Website using Language Translation Widgets

There are a few widgets and tools out there that you can integrate into your weebly website to give users a way to translate your contents into other languages. Some of them are:

A. Google Website Translator:

Many website designers and website owners in search of or who sort after website translators know about Google translator for website. Google website translator gives you a very easy way to make your website readily available in about 100+ languages. Google website translator is very popular and to most, not very desirable because it puts a toolbar at the top of your website during and/or after translation.

How to add google translator to weebly website.

Follow the steps below to add google translator to any weebly website:

STEP 1: Click here to access google website translator, type in the URL of your website in the ‘Website URL’ field, select your website’s ‘original language’. Your website’s original language is the default language of your website. After these, click next. On the next tab (plugin settings), use the available options to customize the widget to your liking. I have to admit there isn’t much to customize in terms of appearance but you can decide how many languages to show, the display mode and some advanced features.

After configuring the plugin, click ‘Get Code’. A code will be generated and ready for use. Click to copy the entire code, on your weebly editor drag and drop ‘EMBED CODE’ element anywhere on all the pages you want translation available. Click on the ‘EMBED CODE’ element and paste the code you copied from Google.

If you want translation available on all your pages, drag and drop EMBED CODE element on your website footer, click and paste the code you copied. Because your website footer is global, the translation widget will be available for all pages.
