Weglot

decidim-voca have pre-configuration for a transparent uses of weglot. Weglot integration works with subdirectories integration.

Setup weglot account​

To setup your weglot configuration, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a weglot account
  2. Create a project
  • Setup your DNS to let your main domain point to weglot
  • Add a TXT DNS entry as weglot ask you
  • "Check DNS" and wait around 10min
  • Copy the api_key given from the initialization script Weglot gives you
  • Add the api_key in WEGLOT_API_KEY in environment variables
  • Restart your server

If you lost your api key during the project creation, you can find it in your project dashboard:
How to get your API KEY

info

Weglot integration is not compatible with Decidim multi-tenant for now, as we share the same API key for the whole serveer

Environment Variables​

We use environment variables to configure the module:

VariableDescriptionDefaultOptions
WEGLOT_API_KEYApi key for weglot``string

How it works​

There is no changes needed with the infrastructure, as the request goes first to Weglot servers (protected with Cloudflare), and then redirect back to your instance.

Infrastructure with Weglot

Once the request arrives to Weglot, it will strip the locale subdirectory prefix, and display content.

Translation logics

The content will be always cached by weglot, and updated in the background "from time to time"
