Time needed:
Estimated time needed: 3 minutes.
Let’s get started.
Get your Widget Code
First, retrieve your widget code from SiteTran. If you haven’t already signed up for SiteTran, it only takes 30 seconds. After creating your account, create a new site in SiteTran to get your widget code, which will generate the language dropdown on your Create site.
Copy the Widget Code
Click the "Copy" button to get your widget code. You will use this in a bit.
Your Widget Code is available when creating your SiteTran site. If you skipped this step you can also retrieve it from the widget page.
Integrating with Create
Initial Login and Navigation
In a new tab, log in to your Create website.
Access Content Section
After logging into your Create account, navigate to the top menu bar and click on the Content option.
Navigate to HTML Fragments
After selecting "Content" from the top menu bar, a sidebar will appear on the left. In this sidebar, locate and click on the "HTML Fragments" option to proceed with the SiteTran widget integration.
Add New HTML Fragment
To add the SiteTran widget, click on the "Add HTML Fragment" button located on the upper right side, just below the top menu bar.
Configure HTML Fragment Settings
When adding an HTML fragment, it is required to enter a descriptive name -- you may put anything you like, or something simple like "SiteTran," in the description box. Paste the SiteTran Widget Code that you copied earlier into the "HTML Code" text box. Make sure to select the "Head" option so the widget appears on every page of your site.
Your widget code looks like this:
<script>var sitetran = { site_id: your_site_id };</script>
<script src="//c.sitetran.com/widget/v3.js"></script>If you need help finding your code snippet, check out this article.
Finally, click the Add HTML Fragment button at the bottom right to save your changes.
