Carrd - Integration / Setup

In this article, you will learn more about how to install Weglot on your Carrd website

Step 1: Create a Weglot account

The first thing you need to do is create an account to set up your multilingual website, manage your translations, and customize your settings depending on your needs. 

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive a validation email that takes you to the Weglot Dashboard and the setup page. 

Now, you need to choose a project name (e.g. your website name) and select the ‘Carrd’ option as 'Website Technology'. 

Step 2: Add your new languages

Now you need to indicate the original language of your website and the languages you want to translate it into.

Step 3: Add the Weglot snippet

The last step is to copy and paste a piece of code given to you in your Weglot account setup into your Carrd.co dashboard.

In your Carrd.co account, click on the "Edit this site" option:

Now go to your website, and you’ll see that we’ve added a language switcher in the bottom right corner. If you end up changing your mind, you can easily edit the design and position of the switcher in your Weglot Dashboard.

The last step is to use the switcher to change the language and finish the setup on Weglot's side. 

After automatic translations have been generated, you can still edit them.
