Coming up on 5 years…

The beauty of Webflow is that it doesn’t have a ton of plugins required to do the basics. Look at the plugin moshpits over at WordPress and Shopify. That’s the road we’re going down. The longer this stays in the backlog, the harder it will be to integrate with all the new features.

The new gated content, memberships, and logic from NCC 2021 look fantastic, but I can’t imagine more people needed that than need a fundamental feature like… basic text content?

I will still use Webflow as a front-end tool going forward, but 75%+ of my clients don’t want the CMS in it’s current state. Nothing personal against Weglot, but it’s been a very hard sell for clients when other natively multilingual CMS options exist.

I really thought this was going to be adressed at Webflow's No Code Conference. But unfortunately they didn't even touch the subject in the keynote. Not having this feature is an absolute dealbreaker for our agency. Weglot is NOT an option due to cumbersome handling an big drawbacks in SEO. Please add this ASAP. Webflow is a great product otherwise, but completely unusable in European markets without this feature.

Storyblok (a headless CMS) has solved the whole translation topic beautifully. For each text field it can be chosen if it is translatable or not. The same goes for the url, SEO texts and so one.. In my opinion it is pretty clear how this feature needs to look like..

Couldn't imagine I spent so much time debating and deciding to use Webflow for my first project, then boom..the platform doesn't support most of the Asian fronts. This is a big deal and nowhere I could read about it before I invested my money & time. I tried Weglot and the content sounds funky like Google Translate. Plz, this is PRIORTITY. THIS IS A BASIC FEATURE. Now I stuck with Webflow, double my work in the third party ( Googledoc) and paste the content to Webflow. What is the point to use a web builder then? Typing in any language is a basic feature.

They obviously have some sort of deal with Weglot since they run ads to a page promoting Weglot. We probably can't expect a real solution until this contract runs out. In the meantime, they will be losing my money as I use WordPress for all my multilanguage clients (which is all of them).

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.

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.

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!

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!

WE NEED THIS YESTERDAY!!!

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!!!
