Ghost - Integration / Setup

In this article, you'll learn how to translate all your content and make your Ghost website multilingual within minutes.

Step 1: Create a Weglot account

Sign up for Weglot, confirm your email, name your project in the dashboard, and select “Other” as the website technology.

Step 2: Add your new languages

Choose your website's original language and the languages you want to translate your website into.

Step 3: Add your website details

Enter your domain name (e.g., mywebsite.com) on the new page and click "Next".

When added, select “Connect my live website.”

You’ll then see a blue section titled “Looking for the easiest setup?” — this is the JavaScript integration option.

Step 4: Add Weglot to Ghost

Copy and paste the Weglot snippet provided in your dashboard into Ghost.

Paste your snippet into Ghost admin > Settings > Code injection > Site header and save.

NB: Don't forget to click the “Save” button! 

Your website is now translated!

You've now successfully translated your website. Go to your website, and you'll see a language switcher at the bottom right of your site (it may take a few minutes to appear). You can also change its position - check out our guide to find out how. 

Weglot provides you with a first layer of translation. To view them, log in to your Weglot account and go to your Dashboard> Translations > Languages. Here, you can review and manually edit all your translations.
