How can I connect two individual websites in different languages?

Dear Weebly Community,

I made a copy of our website https://www.beesforpeace.org/ and manually translated the texts to German. This version can currently be found here: https://752582524858694920.weebly.com/ Now I want to connect those pages, ideally by having a tiny flag in the upper right corner. Now I have several questions:

1. How do I add a button or a flag in the upper right corner of the website? All I seem to be able to add are new standard pages.

2. Do we have to register a new domain for the German version? Or can we add that as some sort of subpage to ours and if yes, how?

I would really appreciate your help, since I am trying to figure that out since some time but just don't know how.

Hi there. You would need to upgrade to a paid plan if you want to add a custom domain to the German site. The other option is to use a Weebly subdomain. 

For the flag, you could add an image to the top of the header, although it sounds like you are trying to add it inline with the header?

Are you wanting to add the flag as a link from the main site to the new German site, or are you just wanting to add the German flag to the German site? 

It's not possible to add additional content into the navigation area without using custom code. Weebly employees are not able to assist with this, so my alternate recommendation would be to add the language flag/link to the bottom of the website in the footer. If the flag is intended to just display for the German site, I recommend editing the logo to include the flag in the image.

@MiraBelle I've discussed an approach to the bi-lingual website in this post:

Remember that users will either want to interact with your site in English or German. So they'll want to do that upon site entry. You certainly can add links to the English/German site on each site page (most easily done in the footer) but this is not that important within the body of the site since users will likely not be switching languages mid way through the site.
