Installing a Multilingual Widget on Your Wix Site

Add a widget to your Wix site that automatically displays in whichever language your site is being viewed in.  
Important:
This article refers to adding your widget to a site created on Wix.com. If your site was not created on Wix, click here for instructions.
Before you begin:
  • Your Wix site must be upgraded to a Premium Plan. Learn how
  • Use Wix Multilingual to create a site in more than one language. If you don't see subdomains for a secondary language, delete the language and re-add it. 
  • Your domain must be either purchased from Wix, transferred to Wix, or connected via name servers. These instructions do not apply if you connected your domain via pointing. Learn more
Note:
We've released a new version of the Wix Answers widget. If you don't see the steps below in your widget settings, click here for directions.

<script>
    (function(){
         var w=window;
         function l(){
             var d=document;
             var aws=d.createElement('script');
             aws.type='text/javascript';
             aws.async=true;
             // Array of languages enabled in Wix Answers Widget
             var supportedLanguages = ['en','fr','es','de','pt','it','ru','pl','zh','da','nl','ja','no','sv','he','ko'];
             var checkLocale = window.location.host.split('.')[0];
             if (supportedLanguages.indexOf(checkLocale) != -1) {
               var locale = checkLocale;  
            }
             else {
               // Default fallback language
               var locale = 'en';
             }
   aws.src = 'https://{ACCOUNT}.wixanswers.com/apps/widget/v1/{ACCOUNT}/{WIDGET-ID}/' + locale + '/embed.js';
             var s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
             s.parentNode.insertBefore(aws,s);
         }
         if(w.addEventListener){
             w.addEventListener('load',l);
         }else{
             w.attachEvent('onload',l);
         }
     w.AnswersWidget = {
           onLoaded: function(e){
             window.AnswersWidget.queue.push(e);
           },
           queue:[]
         }
        })()
</script>
Important:
If English is not your site's default language, replace en in line 17 with the default language's abbreviation. For example, if your site's default language is French, the line should read: var locale = 'fr';  
  1. Paste the code into a separate document (such as CodePen, Notepad, or TextEdit). 
  2. Replace {ACCOUNT} in both places on line 19 with the first part of your Wix Answers URL (e.g. if your URL is support.wixanswers.com, then replace with "support"). 
  1. Replace {WIDGET-ID} with your widget's ID. 
5.  Copy the code you've created in this step so you can paste it in the next step. 

Step 2 | Add the code to your Wix site

Next, add the code in your Wix site's Custom Code tab 
  1. In your Wix account, go to Settings in your site's dashboard.
  2. Scroll down and click Custom Code next to Advanced.
  3. Click + Add Custom Code at the top right.
  4. Paste the code snippet in the text field.
  1. Enter a name for your custom code in the Name field.
  2. Click Apply.
Note:
Leave All pages - Load code once and Place Code in: Head selected. 
  1. Refresh your live website to view the widget.
Note:
Currently, adding more than one widget per page is not supported by Wix Answers.
