Installation

Requirements

• Umbraco CMS 17 or later
• .NET 10
• A Weglot account and API key. See Setting up with Weglot.
• Your site's original content must be in English. See How translation works.

Install the package

From your Umbraco site's project directory:

dotnet add package Arjo.Umbraco.WeglotTranslator

Or use the NuGet Package Manager and search for Arjo.Umbraco.WeglotTranslator.

What gets added

On the next build and application start, the package:

• Runs a package migration that creates an empty ArjoWeglotLanguages table in your Umbraco database. No languages are added for you; you choose them in the backoffice (see Managing languages).
• Adds an Umbraco Translator - Weglot item under Settings → Advanced in the backoffice.
• Ships the language switcher and hreflang partial views, and the switcher stylesheet.

Nothing is translated until you've added a Weglot API key and at least one language. On any hostname other than localhost, you also need a licence key.

Next steps

1. Configure your API key
2. Add your licence key (not needed on localhost)
3. Add a language
4. Set up your front end: add the language switcher and hreflang links to your layout
