Weglot language switcher appears to be breaking site code.

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Ever since starting to use the Weglot language switcher we are seeing broken code errors on our site:

https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.defenda.eu%2F

If you see there are unclosed divs and spans. I have contacted support but they say they won't even look at it because weglot are a 3rd party company. Seems odd as weglot are built into the system and interact with Squarespace. I would imagine other sites are exhibiting these issues. Very poor in my opinion to expect the community to fix their issues but that is the nature of the beast I guess. Feeling very let down at the moment. 

Would anyone be able to suggest a fix please? We wish to use the switcher but don't want broken spans and divs on our site. 

Thanks, 

Matt

Have you contacted Weglot for support? In my experience they are very responsive.

You'll find their help pages here.

Hey there, what email did you use to contact support? 

Can you please send an email with the same address that you used to sign up for Weglot?

Thanks! 

Hi, I contacted Squarespace support, not Weglot, I will ask the client for the email he signed up with. Shall I DM you this? You are the only person I have had contact with from Weglot.


Thanks 🙂

Hi, I received a response from Weglot support saying that the errors appear to be nothing to do with weglot and asking for us to deactivate the software and see if the errors are removed. We have done so and the errors are gone. We have taken the decision to remove Weglot from our site.
