Whether you need to switch payment methods, upgrade your plan, or cancel a subscription, Web Linguist makes it straightforward from your account dashboard. This guide walks you through everything, step by step.



Log In and Open Your Subscriptions

  1. Log in to your Web Linguist account at weblinguist.com.
  2. Click your avatar icon in the top-right corner of the navigation bar (the small circle with your initial).
  3. Select “Subscriptions” from the dropdown menu. This takes you to your main Subscriptions page.

 

Your “All Subscriptions” Overview

Once you’re on the Subscriptions page, you’ll get an overview of everything tied to your account.


The All Subscriptions page in Web Linguist, showing the default payment method and upcoming invoices.


Default Payment Method

At the top of the page you’ll find a Default Payment Method section. This is the card that gets used when you first purchase a new subscription through checkout.

Important: Changing your default payment method here does not update the card on any existing subscriptions. Each subscription keeps the payment method it was originally purchased with. To update the card on a specific subscription, you’ll need to open that subscription individually — covered in the next step.

Upcoming Invoices

Further down the page you’ll see a summary of upcoming invoices across all your websites, including the billing date and amount due — a handy snapshot of what’s coming up.



Manage an Individual Subscription


To make changes to a specific website’s subscription — such as updating the payment method, changing your plan, or cancelling — click that website’s name in the tab bar near the top of the Subscriptions page.


The individual subscription page showing the current plan, payment method dropdown, and options to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel.


Changing the Payment Method

On the individual subscription page, you’ll see a Payment Method dropdown on the right side. Use this to choose which card should be charged for that subscription’s future renewals.


Upgrading or Downgrading Your Plan

Click Upgrade Plan or Downgrade Plan and follow the prompts to switch to a different tier. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle.



Step 4 — Cancelling a Subscription

Click the Cancel button on the individual subscription page. You’ll then be asked to choose how you’d like to cancel:

  • Cancel Immediately — Your subscription ends right away and you lose access to that website’s translations immediately.
  • Cancel at End of Billing Period — Your subscription stays active until the current billing period runs out. You won’t be charged again, but you keep full access until then.

 

Quick Recap

  • Log in → click your avatar → select Subscriptions
  • The All Subscriptions page shows your default payment method and upcoming invoices across all sites
  • Changing the default payment method only affects new purchases — not existing subscriptions
  • Click a website name in the top tab bar to manage that specific subscription
  • From there you can update the payment method, change your plan, or cancel
  • When cancelling, choose between immediate access loss or cancelling at the end of your billing period

This guide shows how to add Web Linguist’s language switcher inside a specific spot on your website, instead of letting it appear in a default position. Choose this method if you want full control over exactly where the language switcher shows up (for example: inside your header, navigation, or footer).

1) Open the language switcher settings

  1. Log in to your weblinguist.ai dashboard
  2. Go to License Settings
  3. Click Customize
  4. Find Display Mode and select Embedded

Once you choose Embedded, you’ll see extra options.

2) Tell Web Linguist where to place the language switcher (CSS selector)

In Embedded mode, you’ll enter a CSS selector. This tells Web Linguist which element on your page should “hold” the language switcher.

Examples of CSS selectors

  • #header (an element with id=”header”)
  • .language-container (an element with class=”language-container”)
  • nav ul
  • footer .links

Important requirements

  • The selector must match an element on every page where you want the language switcher to appear.
  • If Web Linguist can’t find your selector on a page, the language switcher will fall back to the default location: document.body
  • A valid selector is required to use Embedded mode.

Required CSS for the mount element

The element you target must have:

position: relative;

Why? The language switcher uses absolute positioning. If the parent element isn’t position: relative, it may show up in the wrong place or look misaligned.

✅ Example:

<div id="header-switcher"></div>

<style>
  #header-switcher { position: relative; }
</style>

3) Choose your embed style

After you add a selector, pick how the language switcher should look:

  • Language Names and Icons (language name + flag icon)
  • Icons Only (flags only, more compact)

You can preview both right in the dashboard.

4) Pick an accent color

Choose an Accent color to control the highlighted/active language button. This helps match the language switcher to your site’s branding.

5) Optional: Add custom CSS (language switcher only)

You can add CSS in the Custom CSS section to fine-tune the language switcher’s appearance.

Good to know:

  • This CSS applies only inside the language switcher
  • It won’t affect the rest of your site
  • Useful for spacing, button sizing, and small visual tweaks

You’re done 🎉

Save your changes, and the language switcher will appear embedded wherever your CSS selector points.

If anything looks off (or it isn’t showing where expected), double-check:

  • The selector exists on that page
  • The target element has position: relative;

Web Linguist gives you full control over what gets translated on your site. Sometimes, you’ll want to exclude specific content—like brand names, code snippets, or user-generated content—from translation. That’s where our wl-notranslate classes come in.

✅ When You Might Want to Skip Translation

Here are common cases where you may want Web Linguist to ignore text:

  • Product names or trademarks (e.g., “Nike Air Max”)
  • Dynamic user content or form inputs
  • Code samples or technical terms
  • Custom phrases that already contain multiple languages
  • Branded language you want to keep consistent

🛠️ How to Use the Ignore Classes

Web Linguist gives you two simple CSS classes to stop translation:

1. wl-notranslate

Use this when you want to exclude a block or element and everything inside it from being translated.

<div class="wl-notranslate">
  <h3>Product Name™</h3>
  <p>This name stays the same in every language.</p>
</div>

All content inside this container will be skipped by Web Linguist’s translation engine.

2. wl-notranslate-single

Use this when you want to exclude only a single element, but still translate everything around it.

<p>Try our <span class="wl-notranslate-single">ProX Dashboard</span> today.</p>

Only the ProX Dashboard text will stay untouched—everything else will be translated as usual.

🎯 Best Practices

  • Use wl-notranslate for full sections, widgets, or repeated UI blocks.
  • Use wl-notranslate-single for inline brand names or phrases.
  • Don’t overuse these classes—let Web Linguist handle most of the heavy lifting for global reach.

🧪 Need to Test It?

Just add the class, refresh your page, and preview in Web Linguist. The ignored content will stay exactly as is—no translation, no impact on layout.

Search engines like Google and Bing rely on sitemaps to understand your website’s structure. For multilingual websites, a properly configured sitemap is essential to ensure all your translated pages are crawled, indexed, and ranked in search results quickly. It also allows you to add pages that might not be found otherwise.

Why Multilingual Sitemaps Matter

  • Better Indexing – Helps search engines find every translated version of your pages.
  • Improved SEO – Supports hreflang tags and ensures correct language/country targeting.
  • More Traffic – Unlocks organic visibility in international markets.

Getting Started

  1. Open the SEO Settings
    From your Web Linguist dashboard, go to the SEO or Search Engine Settings section.
  2. Generate Multilingual Sitemap
    Select the option to create a sitemap that includes all language versions of your site.
  3. Review and Download
    Preview your sitemap to confirm all translated URLs are included. Download if needed.
  4. Submit to Search Engines
    • Upload your sitemap in Google Search Console.
    • Submit it to Bing Webmaster Tools as well.

Best Practices

  • Regenerate your sitemap whenever you add new languages or significant content.
  • Always pair sitemaps with properly implemented hreflang tags.
  • Monitor indexing status in Google Search Console to catch errors early.

A multilingual sitemap ensures your translated content is discoverable worldwide. By generating and submitting one, you help search engines connect the right users with the right language versions of your site—boosting your international SEO and visibility.

Consistency is key when it comes to brand identity. Whether it’s your product names, slogans, or technical terms, you don’t want them to be mistranslated or altered across different languages. That’s where the Glossary feature in Web Linguist comes in. It lets you define how specific words or phrases should be translated—or locked—so your brand always speaks with one voice.

Why Use the Glossary?

  • Protect Brand Names – Ensure your product or company name never changes in translation.
  • Maintain Consistency – Keep important terms identical across all languages.
  • Improve Accuracy – Guide the AI to handle industry-specific or technical language correctly.

Getting Started

(Note: This is placeholder content. Steps will be updated once the Web Linguist dashboard is available.)

  1. Navigate to the Glossary Tab
    From your Web Linguist dashboard, open the Glossary settings.
  2. Add a New Term
    Enter the word or phrase you want to control. For example:
    • Web Linguist → should never be translated.
    • Pro Plan → keep consistent in every language.
  3. Set Translation Rules
    Choose how each term should be handled:
    • Do Not Translate – Keeps the original text.
    • Custom Translation – Provide your own preferred translation.
  4. Save and Apply
    Once saved, your rules apply site-wide and will override default AI translations.

Best Practices for Using the Glossary

  • Add product names, service tiers, and slogans to maintain brand identity.
  • Review glossary entries regularly as your business grows.
  • Use custom translations for technical terms that may confuse readers.
  • Keep entries short and specific to avoid conflicts.

Your brand is unique, and it deserves to stay consistent in every market. By using the Glossary in Web Linguist, you can lock in key terms, avoid embarrassing mistranslations, and ensure your global presence feels just as strong as your local one.

The language switcher is one of the most visible features of Web Linguist. It lets your visitors quickly choose their preferred language, making your site more welcoming and user-friendly. Just as importantly, it can be styled to match your brand so it feels like a natural part of your design.

Why Customize the Language Switcher?

  • Consistency – Ensure the look and feel matches your website’s branding.
  • User Experience – A clear, intuitive language switcher improves engagement.
  • Flexibility – Choose between dropdown menus, flags, or button styles depending on your audience.

Getting Started

(Note: This is placeholder content. Steps will be updated once the Web Linguist dashboard is available.)

  1. Navigate to the Dashboard
    From your Web Linguist dashboard, look for the Language Switcher settings.
  2. Choose a Style
    Select between:
    • A dropdown menu for a clean, minimal look.
    • Flag icons for a more visual experience.
    • Text buttons for clear, simple navigation.
  3. Customize the Appearance
    Adjust colors, fonts, and sizes to match your brand’s style. Place the switcher in a visible location—commonly in the site header, footer, or lower-right corner.
  4. Preview and Save
    Once you’re satisfied, preview how the switcher looks across devices. Save your changes to apply them site-wide.

Best Practices for Language Switchers

  • Keep it easy to find—don’t bury it deep in a menu.
  • Use clear labels (avoid abbreviations that may confuse users).
  • Place it in a consistent location across your site.
  • Test on desktop and mobile to ensure it’s always easy to use.

A well-designed language switcher helps global users feel at home on your site. By customizing it to your brand, you improve both aesthetics and usability—making multilingual browsing seamless for your audience.
