This is a must.... or at least the Editor/Designer seat needs to be for free... unsellable like it is in comparison the weglot.

It's a huge scam for the price that we have to pay! Now we are completely stuck with the multiligual website we have just delivered, the client was supposed to correct directly the second language, it's going to ask us days of work just because of that mandatory feature missing!

this makes localization unusable at all, i feel like scammed!
need to switch to weglot and other localization services again... very disappointing

This also makes localization significantly more expensive, as each editor who should have access to localization has to now be "promoted" to a full workspace member to have access to the edit mode in Designer.

Even more: with e.g. a Freelancer plan that would limit the "localization-capable" editors to 3 - even if the hosting plan would allow for more editors (e.g. 10 on the Business Hosting plan).

In consequence: hosting a bigger site with 2 locales for 4 editors would then cost $39 for hosting (Business) plus 4 x $35 for 4 workspace seats plus one locale with at least $9. That totals to $188 - compared to $48 ($39 plus $9), if only site hosting had to be considered for a site sitting in an agencies' workspace.

SO frustrating that editing translations isn't available to content editors. Does Webflow really think that web designers are going to be entering the translations for all the locales for all their clients?

this is a huge issue, that could easily be fixed... changing the locale in the URL already allows you to update blog posts in a certain locale, so it should be easy to make it work for the page content as well

This is a crucial feature! Update fast

Uhm, yes we were just about to start migrating all translations and just realized that the content editors we have can't do it..

I have paid a subscription for localization right now but I have just realized that my customer can't edit the localization contents 🤦🏻😡. An absolute nonsense.

Wow, it looks like we've hit a snag with Webflow! My client is unable to edit the locales, which is a crucial feature we were counting on. The client editor features were a big reason for choosing Webflow, so it's surprising this isn't available for locales. We need a quick resolution, please.

Oh my God! Wow,

Designers are not translators. Why is there no localisation for editors?

We tested a possible solution which comes at zero additional cost:

• create new "client" user + client workspace

• invite the webmaster as a guest to the client workspace (admin permissions)

• in the webmaster workspace: transfer the site to the client workspace

• in the client workspace: add a hosting plan to the website

"Real" Editor Access for the client

• login as the client via the following url: https://yoursitename.design.webflow.com/?mode=edit

• Edit with localization support

hope this helps :)

We now have "the Editor" and the "Editing mode" within the Designer. This is already confusing for me as Web Designer, and for sure for my clients. The Editor is a big selling point to clients. The Editing mode is not. So bring localization to the Editor, please. THX!

This should have been the case from the beginning! Editors manage the site; they should be able to do all the translations by themselves. Come on webflow, so far you've been a game changer, keep the ball rolling.

After a bit of research, the only way to invite clients to edit a multilang site is via the webflow editor. But this comes with a few issues:

• client needs to have a payed seat in our webflow workspace

• client can see all our other websites and (with lowest permission rights) comment them - this is not acceptable. I wonder why Webflow chose to handle permissions like that - maybe it is to move customers in the following direction:

Right now imo the only possible way to grant multilang-client access to the website via the editor is to

• create a new webflow workspace for the client (new user)

• invite our agency account to the workspace

• upgrade the workspace plan to two seats (wtf)

• set our agency account as workspace "admin"

• set our acency account as website "admin"

• set the clients account to "editor"

In case you guys found a better way to handle the issue, please reach out to me. I know, this solution is hacky at best and comes with the cost of an additional workspace seat, which is imo not acceptable.

+1 today our first client asked for localisation access after the editor onboarding. It's a shame, that this missing feature is swept under the rug. We really need editor localisation access. Right now I really have no answer to my clients request 🫠

+1 from me. I'm charging my client for a professional localisation service so that they can easily update the content in all locales without my help. I was genuinely surprised to find out this feature is not supported. Please do add this in your roadmap and in the least update your customers about the progress and intentions. Thank you.

Clients are usually the ones to localize sites, how is this even missing?

This is a must. Seriously. Please provide access to editors to all locals.
