How do I go live with my translations?
Please note that when going live with your translated website, you may need to wait up to 10 minutes for the change to take effect due to caching.
If you haven't already, you must place your GlobalLink Web script into the <head> section of the website you want to translate. Your GlobalLink Web script can be retrieved from your Installation page under Project Settings, and it can be placed on any website environment you control. You can also find installation guides for some of the more popular CMS platforms in our Implementation Guides section. If you require any support with the script injection, please feel free to email us for support.
It is important to note that your translated website will never be publicly available to your visitors until you say so. You can safely integrate the GlobalLink Web script onto your site without impacting the experience of your users.
Once you've integrated the GlobalLink Web script onto your site, your project will be in private mode by default. Private mode will allow you to preview your translated website prior to going live. While in private mode, you can also make translation edits in-context, apply glossary terms or No Translate rules, and perform any other customizations that you require. Any customizations made while in private mode will be retained when you officially go live.
When you’re ready to make your translated website available to the public, go to your dashboard and simply click on the “here” link from the yellow banner at the top of the page:
Then click the blue GO button from the ensuing pop up, and within 10 minutes your translated websites will be live.
You can also publish languages individually from the Project Settings > Language Settings page, by clicking the radio button next to the language you want publish.
When the button is green, the language is live. These radio buttons can also be used to revert languages back to Private mode if required.
