How to add Website Translator to a WordPress website

Embed Website Translator on WordPress

01

Create a Website Translator plugin for WordPress on Common Ninja

First, create a WordPress Website Translator plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Website Translator and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Website Translator plugin

When you're done creating the Website Translator plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Website Translator Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Website Translator plugin to your WordPress website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your WordPress website.

04

Paste the code to your WordPress website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your WordPress website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the WordPress’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Website Translator Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Website Translator plugin on your WordPress website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Website Translator plugin on your WordPress plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your WordPress website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Website Translator plugin to your WordPress website. You can do this by putting it straight into your WordPress website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Website Translator widget when you serve visitors who speak different languages and want to make your content accessible without building separate sites for each locale. A visible language switcher lets users choose their preferred language and read your pages in a way that feels more natural to them. This is crucial for global ecommerce, SaaS, travel, education, and any brand with international reach. Better language access improves comprehension, reduces support questions, and shows respect for diverse audiences. It can also help your pages be more useful for search and sharing in multiple regions, which supports long term growth beyond your original market.
