How to translate an external link?

In this article, you'll learn how to translate external links on your website.

Weglot provides a feature that allows you to "translate" external links so you can display a different link on your website's translated version(s).

It can be useful to replace links on your website that are on another domain or video sources like YouTube...

To do that, you can follow the instructions below:

1) Go to your Weglot Dashboard > Translations > Languages:

2. Then, select a language and click on it:

3. At the top of the page, next to the search bar, click on the "Actions" button and choose "Add external link translation":

You will see a pop-up where you can add:

• The URL of the external link on the original page
• The URL of the external link on the translated page

4. Put your links in the corresponding fields, then click on the "Add" button:

And you're done! You should now see the new link directly in your Translations list (Weglot dashboard > Translations > Languages) and on the translated version of your website.

The translation you just created indicates "External link", here is an example:
