After you create a new account with Locadapt, you’ll be greeted with an onboarding wizard that guides you through the initial setup process. This wizard will help you create your first project and configure the basic settings. For reference, we’ll explain the setup process here as well.

Setting Up Your Project

Every translation is associated with a project. Here’s what you need to set up:
  1. Base Language: Set your project’s base language (e.g., English).
  2. Translation Languages: Choose the languages you want to translate your project into.
  3. Allowed Domains: Specify the domains (URLs) you want to allow for your project.
We have detailed integration guides for specific tools — check the sidebar!
After setting up your project, you’ll need to add Locadapt to your website:
  1. Add the Locadapt CSS to your site’s <head>:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.locadapt.com/locadapt.min.css" />
  1. Add the Locadapt script to your site’s <head>, replacing YOUR_PROJECT_ID with your actual project ID (on the configuration page):
<script
  src="https://cdn.locadapt.com/locadapt.min.js"
  data-project-id="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
></script>
  1. If you’re using subdomains for translations, follow the additional setup steps in our URL Setup guide.
Locadapt offers various advanced options to customize your translation setup:
  • Configure SEO metadata translation
  • Set up dynamic content support
  • Choose routing type (QueryParams, Subdirectory, or Subdomain)
  • Define whitelist and blacklist regexes
  • Enable/disable auto-detect language
  • Select preferred button UI style
  • Set CSS ignore rules
These options can be configured in the “Options” tab of your project settings. Documentation for them can be found in our Advanced Configuration guide, Custom Styling guide, and URL Setup guide.
For developers who want to use Locadapt on localhost:
  1. Generate a secret key on your project configuration page.
  2. Paste the provided script there in your browser’s console to set up local development.
Remember to keep your secret key private and never share or publish it.For more details, see our Local Development guide.
