Thanks so much @eugene_weglot! Will do.

Also I’ve just been in touch with Max at Weglot customer service. We are planning to include 5 languages when we beta test in March - Malay, Burmese, Thai, Simplified Chinese and Filipino. If you foresee concerns, do let me know. Any advice Remy can offer to make the integration as seamless as possible is much appreciated. Thanks again.

@e-respondeo
Yes. TW never means Traditional Chinese, and it is quite wrong to any non-Taiwan clients.

@eugene_weglot
I was told I have to subscribe to the Enterprise plan so that Weglot will be helping to customize the custom lang code. It was so disappointing and that turned me away.

Now we adopt https://localizejs.com and https://www.transifex.com which both work perfectly.

@anthonychan2509 I have a need to build a website with target audience primarily in Hong Kong where Traditional Chinese is the Key language while English is supplementary. You mentioned about https://localizejs.com. Does it mean you are using webflow for English content and this website is just for translation and you have to duplicate the pages and maintain manually ?
Thanks, Mimi

Localizejs will detect your site’s content and make it as strings. You will then have to maintain your translations there, either by machine or you manually translate it.

Sorry that I am not familiar with webflow (still in the process of exploring and finding the right website builder for my website). “Site content” you mentioned includes all content in all pages including pages in Ecommerce or other plugins ?
Thanks for your information, Mimi

26

Yes, all content that you and your visitors can see on the frontend.

Thank you very much, Mimi

Hi Sarah, thanks for this, I’ve implemented this exact method but I’m stuck with one more step I can’t figure.

How do we show only that particular CMS item’s corresponding language link field when we’re viewing said CMS item? Right now it’s the entire list from that collection…

Toyed around with adding fields to no avail so far… It’s probably my tunnel vision at this point because it’s been so frustrating, appreciate if you could advise, many many thanks for your time :pray:
