Amazing! Just the switch language button is below and on the left hand side, but in your website you say that that will be on the top-right of the page, or you can customize that?

Is there an option to SKIP or REMOVE the flag? French language not necessarily has to be associated with the flag of France. I speak Latin American Spanish, I wouldn‘t like to see the flag of Spain to mean the Spanish language.

So, I see I don‘t have to worry about laying out a navigation bar with a switch language button. Weglot does it! right? Or can I maybe customize something with CSS, like background, size, font-family... if not, no problem, the tool is great.

HI! Thanks for the tutorial, just one question.. my site made on webflow also has images inside which, clearly, are not translated...

I've created variants of the images in the translated language (in my case it's English, and the main language is Italian) and I'd like to make sure that when someone selects the site in Italian, the page loads the graphics in Italian, but when they select "English", the graphics loaded will be the ones in English... Is this possible? If yes, how?

Thanks so much for the help

HI! How are you? hope you are doing great. Quick question, can I use weglot for a full website that contains more than 1 page? or this is only for landing pages that contains only 1 page? thanks in advance!

Only 20% words in my website needs to be translated, but seems all of them are Included in the words calculation, I think it doesn't make sense.
