   <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: 'PROJECT_KEY', 
       rememberLanguage: true,
       // other options go here, separated by commas
     });
