Using more than one language in Webflow pages

[RyanUK (Ryan)]

Hi, I am looking to create a site which will have more than one language on many web pages. Is this possible in Webflow? I understand translation is possible. However, I am not really looking for translation. As an example, can a page have English text and use other language text like Indian, Chinese or Arabic - basically languages that don’t use the ABC written characters.

I would prefer to use Webflow, however, I am trying to be realistic, and know that Webflow is not the best product for every situation. So, would you recommend I use Webflow on a project like this, or would you recommend I stick with something like Wordpress for this one?

Thank you.

An Open Letter to Webflow

What has become of Webflow ? Let’s start by saying this : I love Webflow ! When I was looking to start my business, back in 2016, I took a lot of time to select the technology I would use, and when I stumbled upon Webflow, I had no doubt : this is it ! Although it was a bit expensive compared to Squarespace, Wix and others Web design tools, its users friendly UX allowed me to create websites with advanced design features in an easy manner for me, as I’m not a technical person. I still rememb…

Translating a website under Webflow without third parties like Weglot,

Hi @vince, Multilanguage with Webflow is possible if you duplicate your pages into a different a different folder (“en/” for example). You then need to add the correct hreflang attribute. It’s a tedious process if you have too many pages, especially with the 100 pages hard limit. There is a blog post about it : https://webflow.com/blog/multilingual-website There’s also a javascript solution on the forum : https://discourse.webflow.com/t/tutorial-full-multi-language-site-easy-to-set-up-and-to-…

Multi-language. When?

Hi there, I am about to start an ecommerce site. Europe based, so multi-language is a MUST (at least two languages needed). Does Webflow plan to integrate this feature in the near future? Otherwise I’ll opt for another solution. Thanks in advance!

Any good way to translate a simple Webflow website?

Hello, I’m looking for a good way to translate my website. I don’t want to use a costly third party app (but a cheap one could do it). Do you have an idea how to do it? Should I duplicate manually all the pages ? Thanks

Hi, I read some of the threads above, especially the open letter to Webflow. It makes me a little worried, because I invest time in learning Webflow, even though it’s for personal use.

I will probably not use Webflow for multi language site.

Hi @RyanUK Look around this forum to find more pros and/or cons to decide. IMO WF is a great platform for profile or product landing pages and for ML projects you still can inject 3d party services into WF .

I have currently stopped using and recommending WF while keeping pro account as I still hope for better tomorrows “promised” with WF.

Hi Stan, I want WF to succeed. I am heavily invested in it. However, struggles of people who are even more invested in it then me, and use it on a larger scale then me is a little concerning, because I am hoping that it’s something I can scale. Thanks.
