Install WhatsApp widget in multilingual language

WhatsApp doesn’t officially offer a widget for WordPress. However, you can create a WhatsApp chat button/link using our WhatsApp Widget and then translate it into multiple languages to make it multilingual. Here’s a general guideline on how to achieve this:

Code for WordPress to add two widgets – one for each language:

<?php if ($current_language === 'es') {?>

<script defer src="https://widget.tochat.be/bundle.js?key=cd8de797-d27c-4296-9eba-76f4ce2efe23"></script>

<?php } elseif ($current_language === 'en') {?>

<script defer src="https://widget.tochat.be/bundle.js?key=c49aaa1a-b64c-40ec-854c-e70859f67cd5"></script>

<?php }?>

1. Choose a WhatsApp Plugin:
   • Go to your WordPress and add the code in your
   • Search for a WhatsApp chat plugin. “Click to Chat” or “WP Social Chat” are some popular options. Install and activate the one you prefer.
2. Set Up the Plugin:
   • Once activated, you’ll typically find a settings page for the WhatsApp plugin. Go to the plugin settings.
3. Configure the WhatsApp Button:
   • In the plugin settings, you can customize the WhatsApp button’s appearance and behavior. You can specify the button’s position, color, text, and icon.
4. Generate the WhatsApp Link:
   • You’ll need to enter your WhatsApp phone number in the plugin settings. Make sure it includes the country code.
   • The plugin will generate a WhatsApp link or button based on your settings.
5. Add the WhatsApp Button to Your Website:
   • Go to the page or location on your website where you want to display the WhatsApp button.
   • Depending on your plugin, you can typically add it using a shortcode or a widget.
6. Multilingual Support:
   • To make the WhatsApp button multilingual, you’ll need a multilingual plugin like WPML or Polylang, or use translation plugins like Weglot or TranslatePress.
   • Translate the WhatsApp button text and any other content you want to display in multiple languages.
7. Display WhatsApp Button in Different Languages:
   • Using your multilingual plugin, create different versions of the page or post in the languages you want to support.
   • In each language version, insert the translated WhatsApp button or shortcode.
8. Test the Multilingual Setup:
   • Make sure to test the WhatsApp button in each language to ensure it works as expected.
