Getting started with Localize For Web is simple and shouldn't take more than a few minutes. If you haven't already, first follow the instructions for Signing Up, where you will create your first Website / Web App project.
Step 1: Install the Localize Tag
Copy and paste the following code snippet in the <head> tag in your website, on all pages that you want to Localize, replacing YOUR_PROJECT_KEY with the project key from your Localize project. Alternatively, check out our list of Integrations to see if one of them applies to your website.
<script src="https://global.localizecdn.com/localize.js"></script>
<script>(function(a){if(!a.Localize){a.Localize={};for(var e=["translate","untranslate","phrase","initialize","translatePage","setLanguage","getLanguage","detectLanguage","getAvailableLanguages","untranslatePage","bootstrap","prefetch","on","off","hideWidget","showWidget","getSourceLanguage"],t=0;t<e.length;t++)a.Localize[e[t]]=function(){};}})(window);</script>
<script>
Localize.initialize({
key: 'YOUR_PROJECT_KEY',
rememberLanguage: true,
// other options go here, separated by commas
});
</script>You can find your Project Key on the Project Overview page.
Step 2: Verify successful installation
After installing the code snippet, refresh your website/application.
- If you see the Localize language-switching widget on your site then Localize is successfully installed.
- Switch to one of your target languages and visit the pages on your website. Localize will automatically detect new content and will bring it into your dashboard.
Step 3: Check for Phrases in the Dashboard
- Visit the Manage Phrases page to review your content.
- Move the approved phrases from the Pending bin to the Published bin and translations will be automatically generated and will be available on your website.
