Webflow currently provides localization for its CMS items but not for e-commerce products cms item. This limitation means that when switching languages on a Webflow site, e-commerce products are not translated and disappear, as they are only created for the primary local. This issue hinders the ability to create a fully localized e-commerce site directly on Webflow with a localization plan. (I thought it was an isolated bug, but a Webflow technician has confirmed that the translation of e-commerce products is not yet a feature available on the platform.)

As a design studio using Webflow exclusively for more than 100 clients over the past 7 years, this is now a showstopper and we're evaluating who to move to. Highly disappointing design choice on the part of the Webflow team to even release localization before it was compatible with ecommerce. You are setting up your highest paying users for a trap and they are leaving you forever for it. Shortsighted and frankly despicable practices coming out of Webflow lately.
Urgent Need for E-commerce Localization – Implementation Timeline?
Dear Webflow Team,
As a dedicated user of your platform, I want to express my concern regarding the lack of localization support for e-commerce products. While localization is available for CMS items, this crucial feature is still missing for e-commerce, making it challenging to provide a fully localized experience for our customers.
This limitation significantly impacts our ability to operate on a global scale, and if not addressed soon, we may be forced to consider alternative solutions.
Could you provide an update on whether e-commerce localization is on your roadmap and an estimated timeline for its implementation?
This is a real mood kill.. working on my website for weeks only to find out while translating everything into different locales that this function is not offered. SMH, hope it's resolved soon or I'm off to another builder.
Need!
I need this too
Do you have an estimated time when it's going to be?
We also need this.
I'm shocked to realize this is not possible???
We require this feature also.
Localization on everything except E-commerce is very poor for Webflow since most e-commerce sites want to do business globally.
This alone could push a lot of customers with webshops to other platforms.
Please add this and reduce utter disappointment to eager E-commerce Webflowers.
It is crazy that, in the middle of development, we have found out that translating products is not possible!
Webflow does not put much focus because they find that Webflow e-commerce usage is low. However, the logic is the opposite: the low usage is because the current features are too weak.
It's really sad that this feature doesn't exist. We shouldn't have to choose between ecommerce and localization.
we neeed this
How am I supposed to offer my store in diffrent languages?
We require this feature
