How to dynamically change the URL of a link based on the language selected by the user in Webflow using the Weglot Plugin

If you are using the Weglot plugin in Webflow, you can dynamically change the URL of a link based on the language selected by the user. This can be achieved by following these steps:

1. Install and configure the Weglot Plugin: First, make sure you have installed and activated the Weglot Plugin in your Webflow project. You can find the Weglot plugin in the Webflow marketplace. Configure the plugin by adding your website URL and selecting the desired languages for your website.

2. Set up language switcher: In Webflow, you need to create a language switcher using a dropdown menu or any other navigation element. Each language option in the switcher will have an associated URL.

3. Create custom code: To dynamically change the URL of the link, you will need to write some custom code. In Webflow, go to the page where you want to add the language switcher, and add an embed element. Insert the following code into the embed element:

<script>  window.addEventListener('load', function() {    var languageSwitcher = document.getElementById('language-switcher'); // Replace 'language-switcher' with the ID of your language switcher element    var links = languageSwitcher.getElementsByTagName('a');    for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {      links[i].addEventListener('click', function(e) {        e.preventDefault();        var language = this.getAttribute('data-language');        var currentURL = window.location.pathname;        var newURL = currentURL.replace(/\/\w{2}-\w{2}\//, '/' + language + '/'); // Update the regex pattern based on your URL structure        window.location.href = newURL;      });    }  });</script>

1. Define language data attributes: In your language switcher element, you need to define a data-language attribute for each language option. This attribute will hold the language value that corresponds to the URL path.

For example, if your switcher element looks like this:

<div id="language-switcher">  <a href="#" data-language="en">English</a>  <a href="#" data-language="fr">French</a></div>

The above code assumes that the English version of your website uses the /en/ prefix in the URL, and the French version uses the /fr/ prefix. Adjust the regex pattern in the custom code snippet to match your specific URL structure.

1. Test and publish: Preview your website and test the language switcher. Clicking on a language option should dynamically change the URL and navigate the user to the corresponding language version of the webpage.

By following these steps, you can dynamically change the URL of a link based on the language selected by the user in Webflow using the Weglot Plugin.
