# Translate iframe

## Pre-required

You need to have the iframe control to **put Weglot snippet on the iframe**.

If you cannot put the snippet in the iframe, please [contact us](https://weglot.com/contact/enterprise/), we surely have another solutions for you.

## Setup

The parent window (main page) got the Weglot snippet to initialize it and there is a switcher on this page.

**1)** You have to put the same snippet in your iframe page, with the `hide_switcher` extra option to `true`, because you don't want another switcher in your iframe:

```markup
<script src="https://cdn.weglot.com/weglot.min.js"></script>
<script>
// In your iframe
Weglot.initialize({
    api_key: "wg_xxxx",
    hide_switcher: true // You already have a switcher in parent window
});
</script>
```

**2)** Add `translate_iframes` option with all CSS selectors in an array to select translated iframe in your page.

```markup
<script src="https://cdn.weglot.com/weglot.min.js"></script>
<script>
// In your parent window
Weglot.initialize({
    api_key: "wg_xxxx",
    translate_iframes: ["#iframe-id", ".my-little-iframe"]
});
</script>

```

Now, the parent window **can communicate** with your iframe, mainly **to switch language** when user select a new one.

## Tips

* You can add iframes selectors option all over your website, if selector is wrong or iframe doesn't exist, it doesn't matter
* Visiting a page with a translated iframe on it will count two visits on your dashboard (parent + iframe)
