A little bit of information concerning the project I’m working on. The client’s previous website was built on Wordpress, and I’m in charge of recreating it in Webflow. The previous website is still up and running. We’re now in the translation phase of the new one.
What I’m curious about is if there is a way to translate the website before publishing to the domain. Do we absolutely need to do the transfer, publish the website, and then translate? Are the translations done on the webflow.io domain transferred? If not, how have you been able to translate your website before publishing?
If you setup the JS version of weglot on your webflow.io domain, and you trigger those translation requests ( by accessing those pages ), WeGlot translates and stores them.
Since they’re cataloged by path and language code, it should use the same translation info even if you switch from JS-based to a subdomain or path-based language identifier.
Keep in mind that it only happens to pages you request, that’s how WeGlot appears to work. So you likely have to browse your entire site to trigger complete translation, and then go edit those translations in WeGlot if you want to perfect them.
