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 Webflow 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 Webflow
Initial Login and Navigation
In a new tab, log in to your Webflow website.
Select Website for Integration
After logging in, you'll land on the Webflow dashboard. From here, select the specific website you wish to integrate the SiteTran widget into.
Add Code Embed to Webflow
After selecting your website, click on the "Add Elements" option (the plus "+" sign) from the left menu pane. To simplify the process, use the search bar to look for "code embed." Then, select "Code Embed" from the search results to proceed with the integration.
Paste Widget Code in Webflow
In the Code Embed editor box, Paste the SiteTran Widget Code that you copied earlier.
Your widget code looks like this:
<script>var sitetran = { site_id: your_site_id };</script>
<script src="//c.sitetran.com/widget/v3.js"></script>
