  • Adding the Weglot Code: Learn how to add Weglot code to your Webflow site to enable translation functionality.

Weglot provides two main methods to organize the translation of your Webflow site.

In this part, we also present the two options: subdomain and subfolder, to help you determine which one best fits your needs.

  • Subdomain: This method creates a specific subdomain for each language on your site. For example, for a site in French and English, you will have fr.yoursite.com and en.yoursite.com.
  • Subfolder: This method places each language version in a subfolder of your site. For instance, for a site in French and English, you will have yoursit.com/fr/ and yoursit.com/en/. The subfolder method is often preferred for its simplicity in management and its SEO compatibility.
