Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://developers.weglot.com/craft-cms/getting-started.md). # Getting Started Weglot integrates with your Craft CMS site and makes it multilingual in a few minutes. Here is what it does: 1. It creates a URL for each language — for example `/fr/about` or `/es/about` — without creating any new entries in the Craft control panel. 2. On those URLs, it serves the translated content. 3. It adds a language switcher to your pages and injects the `hreflang` tags in the `` for SEO. ### 1. Install the plugin {% tabs %} {% tab title="Plugin Store" %} In the Craft control panel, go to **Settings → Plugins**, open the **Plugin Store**, search for **Weglot**, and press **Install**. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Composer" %} From your project root, require the package and install the plugin: ```bash composer require weglot/craft-translate php craft plugin/install weglot ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### 2. Configure the mandatory settings Open the plugin settings (**Settings → Plugins → Weglot**) and fill in the three required fields: * **API Key** — your Weglot project key. If you don't have one, [create your account](https://dashboard.weglot.com/register?project=craft); a **Register on Weglot** button is also shown in the settings until a valid key is saved. * **Original Language** — the source language of your Craft site (the language your content is written in). * **Destination Languages** — the languages you want your site translated into, entered as a pipe-separated list, for example `fr|es|de`. Save the settings. Weglot validates your API key, syncs your configuration, and the language switcher appears on your site. {% hint style="info" %} The **Original Language** and **Destination Languages** menus are populated from the 110+ languages Weglot supports, fetched live from your account. {% endhint %} {% hint style="success" %} **Next step:** head over to [Plugin settings](/craft-cms/plugin-settings.md) to control what gets translated — exclusions, dynamic content and search integrations — and to customize the language switcher. {% endhint %}
