1. Add an Element

Navigate to your website in your Carrd dashboard.
Select the + option to add an element.
Select Embed.
Set Type to Code.

2. Paste the code snippet

Copy the following Localize code snippet and paste it into the Code field.

<script src="https://global.localizecdn.com/localize.js"></script>
<script>(function(a){if(!a.Localize){a.Localize={};for(var e=["translate","untranslate","phrase","initialize","translatePage","setLanguage","getLanguage","detectLanguage","getAvailableLanguages","untranslatePage","bootstrap","prefetch","on","off","hideWidget","showWidget","getSourceLanguage"],t=0;t<e.length;t++)a.Localize[e[t]]=function(){};}})(window);</script>

<script>
  Localize.initialize({
    key: '[[app:key]]', 
    rememberLanguage: true,
    // other options go here, separated by commas
  });
</script>

Be sure to replace the value for the key option with your Localize Project Key if it's not already there.

1. Choose to insert it in the <head> element to install Localize in the <head> of all website pages.
