Managing Multi-lignual and Multi-Region Site

Design help Localization
1

Hello, I am creating a multi-lingual and multi-region site, the site will be in English and Arabic for both Saudi Arabia and Jordan. The content for the regions will differ and in the near future the translation to Arabic for each region will be different as well. I was hoping to get my URLS as follows:

mysite.com/jo/ar
mysite.com/sa/ar
mysite.com/jo/en
mysite.com/sa/en

all from the same project. I was investigation the folders option but the Homepage will be for only one of the regions as it cannot be added to a folder. and I am afraid that the other region’s homepage will be secondary and will not show on google search as the main page.

I was looking into other tools like Polyflow and the problem is Arabic is a RTL language so translating only without using the localization option offered by webflow will not flip the layout and paragraph direction.

I need advise on how i can manage this kind of websites and what is the best approach to handle them. I do not mind minor compromise to my URL structure if there is another way but I prefer to keep my 2 regions and locals in one project.

I also read that CMS collections cannot be put in folders so i am okay to have them shared between the 2 regions for now. but if there’s a solution that covers this as well, it would be awesome.

Thank you,

Hey Nisreen, for building English-Arabic websites in Webflow I recommend their native Localization feature: Website translation and localization tools | Webflow

And for creating RTL-friendly Layouts, I suggest you build your site using the RTLflow CSS System which is built on top of Client-First to handle RTL Multilanguage cases:

You will need to comprosime a little on the URL-structures, but you can manage multiple different versions of English & Arabic within the same project. Just make sure you stay under 5 locales otherwise you’ll land in the Enterprise Pricing!
