What does Weglot plugin do exactly ?
It creates URL for each languages, like /fr/about/ or /es/about/ for instance (but doesn't create actual pages in WordPress backend)
On these URL, it returns the translated content
It adds a language button on the page and the hreflang tags in the <head> section of your page for SEO.
To start, install Weglot Translate plugin directly from the directory.
In the settings page, configure the 3 mandatory settings :

Original Language : The original language of your WordPress website.
Destination Languages : The languages you want your website to be translated into.
Save the settings and you are done. You will see the language button appear on your website.
Next step: head over to Plugin settings to control what gets translated (emails, search, specific URLs or blocks) and customize the language switcher.
