This is such a massive pain point for using Webflow's version of localization. The people using the designer don't speak every language that needs to be localized, and we should not be the gatekeepers of updating translated text.
Editors need to be able to update and correct translated text, so that end customers and hired language experts can perform work without having to go through middlemen.

+1 this is insane.
It’s pretty greedy to charge extra for multilingual support, but it’s unacceptable how poorly it’s implemented.
If an editor can’t edit all the content, what is it worth?
Very strange this is not possible, as you pay the add on for localization
Dear Webflow Team,
Not having editors able to switch between languages in the Editor is absolutely absurd. Seriously.
The fact that this functionality is only available through a paid plugin makes the situation even worse.
I wish you could be there when I have to explain to my client—after convincing them to move their website to Webflow and pay for the plugin—that one of the main features I promised them is not functional.
This issue must be resolved ASAP.
Is that part of 2025 new features ?
+1 Big blocker
+1 Hugely holds back this feature.
This is unacceptable. Please elaborate on your thinking why this is not fixed. Is it on your roadmap?
Ouch, I'm researching the posibility of transferring from Weglot to Localization, but not the editor not integrated in this is a massive turnoff. As people are describing below, how can the client add and update CMS items in different languages? Super weird this isn't integrated.
Is insane this feature is not available within the editor tool.
Embarrassing
This is crazy, how are my clients supposed to edit their content themself if they can't manage every languages ? Who thought this would be a good idea ? Please Webflow fix this...
I still can't believe this. I sold localization to two of my clients, and now I'm realizing translations doesn't work in the editor!? This is so disappointing, Webflow. Why do you ship half baked features? And you're not transparent with this. Do you want us to move away?
we have the same issue as many before in the comments. We were expecting, that the editor works fully with translations and now i have two colleagues who are suppose to handle multi-language content in the editor and are not able to do so. This has to be done asap!
Much needed feature. Needs to be done asap. Being designer and handing over site to client means they have the freedom to edit content but due to localization I am stuck now with their edit work without pay
It works so incredibly well in the designer. But sadly it is unusable when working with content editors. such a shame :(
Should stop charging until this is released. It's a freaking expensive feature to not cover basics.
Needs to be done asap
This is incredibly frustrating! Editors should absolutely be able to update and correct translated text. Having to go through designers for every little change is inefficient and unnecessary. Webflow needs to fix this ASAP!
We are using Weglot and we wanted to switch to localization but will not use it until the editors get access to the translation tool.
