From here, you can configure different aspects, such as the appearance of the widget, the main language you are going to translate from, as well as deciding where to place the widget within your website, whether this is through a floating selector or on the website menu.
Next, select the languages that you want your online store to be translated into.
On the right-hand side you can see a preview of the widget. You can also change the colours to adapt it to the style of your online store.
After completing the configuration, click on Save changes.
Go to your website and check that the widget appears with the selected languages.
Your online store can now be viewed automatically in the languages you have selected.
