Each page and CMS entry is translatable. When creating fields for a Collection, mark whether that field is translatable (some fields won't need translation, like references to other collections, price fields, etc).
An option for Links should be added to choose a language (in addition to external links, pages within the site, etc).

We recognize that multi-language functionality is very important and will allow everyone to create inclusive language experiences on their sites. It’s definitely something we plan to build the right way within Webflow.
Please continue to give us feedback. We're listening to how such a feature could enable you build multi-language sites.

Please bear SEO in mind! Because having the same URL with only content traslated it's pretty useless if not harmful for your website, (Weglot it's definitely not a solution). With my agency as soon as we have a multi-linguage project we directly develop on WordPress.

The only possible (and intelligent!) workaround to systematic localization was clever usage of CMS multi-references and nesting. However, I discovered this is limited to 5 multi-refs and a single nested collection per page! Why would such a limitation be imposed on us loyal customers is beyond me.

ConveyThis doesn't follow a single SEO optimization. It got my content penalized and removed from google because of duplicate content, amongst a list of other problems I had. When reporting this to the company they returned my money, proving they have no real solution.

We want an ETD!
It was in the roadmap and then it was removed. Now you say "is very important and will allow everyone to create inclusive language experiences on their sites", but when?
It's incredible that such a big company, after such a big round of investemnt, doesn't take seriously the concept of "global market"!
We are also willing to pay more for multilanguage hosting, but this issue is driving me crazy. Every other platform on the web includes this simple feature! Squarespace, Wix, EditorX... even Tilda!
You have to fix this because that's the biggest problem you have right now!

@Mark Joncheff. Conveythis is not cheap. $15 is the same price as the entire Webflow basic hosting/platform, just for translations.
Please stop using this thread to advertise workarounds like Weglot and Conveythis. The purpose of this thread is to get a NATIVE CMS solution from Webflow. We are not interested in workarounds. Thanks!

I use, https://www.conveythis.com/, its really cheap and we have tested it in a few languages with native speaking like Russian, French and Spanish and it seems to work really well.

With Weglot you have
your SEO broken,
your Analytics meaningless,
and no control of content according to language.
So, I have no chance to bring this CMS to customers in Europe.
Sad, because the Designer is as yet one of the best in the market.

This has been pending since 2017. Multi language MUST be a PRIORITY. Just heard Vlad saying in the stream that basically there's no concrete plan for this. So disappointing!

Really sad how ignorant Webflow deals with this top voted requirement.

Weglot is way too expensive. Not helping at all. Here in Europe pretty much every second business needs more than 1 language. Especially here in Switzerland, we have 4 native languages.

Weglot only provides subdomain support, no subdirectory support. Being able to use subdirectories is a must for SEO. When your current site uses subdirectories for example .com/en or .com/de and you swap to en.domain.com and de.domain.com the penalty for SEO is HUGE.

This is absolutly neccessary!!!

This really needs to get done. We have built a big corporate website and using Weglot does not work at all for us and I believe a lot of others developers agree on this..
Get this done Webflow..

DO THIS WITH PRIORITY. it is a base funicionality.

How can this not be a priority? Webflow says there is Weglot out there (there are actually numerous other options) but it is so expensive that it hurts our business case (and Webflow's). And even if you don't look at the price, it is just not maintanable for larger websites, where every comma changed in the original language changes the end translation. How can you even pretend this is a solution? It's preposterous and arrogant from Webflow.

Have been using Weglot on several projects lately. It's just not good enough for enterprise solutions. The UX experience for the client is terrible and there is a lot of issues with SEO, handling language versions of files and links, URL translations and much more. Weglot is an impressive hack, but it's exactly that; a hack, NOT a viable solution.

come on webflow! you will lose me over this one..

wow, this is from 2017, is ranked second in popular and webflow keeps recommanding 3rd party solutions?

I don't mind paying something for automatic translation. However, I would like to have both the functionality and hosting of my pages in one place; Webflow. That is also the reason why I am not on WordPress.
In my eyes it is a wrong decision not to prioritize this fundamental function of a CMS.
