WeGlot Installation
Our translation technology, WeGlot, is set up to provide translations for English, Arabic, Polish, Tagalog, Chinese, Spanish, and Hindi, which comply with the State of Illinois language recommendations. Please note that the WeGlot translation service will only translate page content.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the DoIT Web Content Management Team at DoIT.WebServices@illinois.gov for assistance.
Access to the DoIT WeGlot Portal
- We would ask that you first watch the WeGlot Quick Tutorial for Translation Editors https://wcmauthorguide.illinois.gov/useful-resources/weglot.html
- Provide the desired WeGlot Project name and Website/App URL (If you wish to have separate configs for dev, test, prod then please give us all the environments)
- Identify who will be getting the WeGlot Manager, Viewer, Translator Access (learn more about the different types of users ).
- Have your agency ATSR submit an IT Service Request to request access to the Weglot Portal. Be sure to include the user's name(s) and email address(es). Ask for the request to be routed to EAS Content Management.
Install the WeGlot Widget Code on your Website
Place the script tag into the heading of all the pages of your application/websites. This can be done through the master page, common include or any other method available to your developers based on your technology.
DoIT WCM will supply you with the API Key that you will need for your site.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.weglot.com/weglot.min.js"></script>
<script>
Weglot.initialize({
api_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
});
</script>
Checklist After Applying the Code
- Verify that the page content on the Home Page and Landing pages are changing to the appropriate language on your site from the default English language. Chose each one of the languages (English, Arabic, Polish, Tagalog, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi).
- Review any “dynamic” pages where there is paging of information or data lookups to ensure that as you “page” through information or refilter/search that the results are being translated correctly as they appear on the screen.
*If there are any site translation issues or loss of functionality, please reach out to the DoIT Web Content Management Team at DoIT.WebServices@illinois.gov.
Conclusion
To better serve your website visitors, it is important to understand how they interact with your language pages. In addition to language translation, the Web Content Management group can provide unified web analytics for your agency. This enables you to track and report on all web-related site and application traffic, whether it be authenticated or non-authenticated web-based applications.
