Adding a Customised Multilingual Widget to Your Website

5 min readUpdated 15 March 2026

Offering your website in multiple languages helps you reach a broader audience. Limecube supports two translation approaches: the free Google Translate widget for quick automated translations, and Weglot for higher-quality, SEO-friendly multilingual sites.

Google Translate provides a free, quick solution for adding automated translations to your site. You can customise which languages appear in the dropdown by generating a code snippet with a ChatGPT prompt.

Setting Up Google Translate on Limecube

1Confirm which languages you want to offer on your site
2Use the provided ChatGPT prompt to generate your customised HTML and JavaScript code
3Add the HTML code via the <a href="/support/kb/notification-bar">Notification Bar</a> settings
4Add the JavaScript code through <a href="/support/kb/adding-analytics-and-other-tracking-codes">Analytics and code injection</a>
5Save your settings and refresh your website
6Test the widget to ensure all selected languages work correctly

To customise which languages appear, replace the language codes on the fifth line of the JavaScript snippet. For example: 'de,en,es,it,zh-CN,ar,pt,ru,fr'.

Option 2: Weglot Translation Tool

Weglot is a premium third-party translation service that combines AI translation, human editing, and professional translators for higher-quality results. It also provides automatic SEO optimisation features including hreflang tags and language subdomains.

Key Advantages of Weglot

Weglot offers superior translation quality compared to automated tools, along with built-in SEO features that help search engines index your translated pages correctly. This makes it ideal for businesses that need professional-grade multilingual support.
