I used Weglot for a sizable client project, and boy, it makes it addictively easy to add a language switcher to your site. It’s all machine-translated by default, of course, but you can override it.

Thanks Dan, we’re thrilled you mentioned us. We do our best to put up neat websites and Relume helps us go faster and spend more time refining the details.

Dan why is Weglot better than using native Locales in Webflow?
Lee F.
·
I never got very far into looking at Webflow’s native localization. With Weglot, the setup took literally 15 minutes with one script, and I can add (and have added) more languages with like three clicks. I would absolutely love it if Webflow were near that easy, but I never got there. Is it?

I used Webflow on this site and it was very easy: blockstherapy.com I think I added a locale then went through and changed the text. And I had to style the locale switcher.
Lee F.
·
“then went through and changed the text” So it’s all the translation is manual?
Sara M.
·
I'm actually not sure. It's possible it will do all of it for you with one click. For this specific client they translated the English themselves into French, so I did it manually for them.

How does is work with Weglot Lee F.?
Lee F.
·
Ah. Yeah, it’d be nice to have a human person do it manually, I’m sure the quality is much improved In Weglot, you just add a script, and then in the dashboard you pick which languages you want to be included in the automatically generated language switcher. You can style the language switcher if you want, but yeah, it’s just a couple of clicks.

Wouldn't it be better to use something native if you can?
Matt J.
·
Weglot has been around since 2016 - so likely just using what was already familiar/known and in the case of Webflow, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion so fast either. Just my two cents, jumping in here. 😄 #Ilovewebflow4real
Sara M.

Matt J. you're saying that Weglot is better?
Lee F.

I love Webflow and all, but we’ve been bitten by some of their more recently launched products (“Logic” killed us). While I would love to stick to native whenever possible, I don’t think it’s necessarily always the best here, especially for the more fringe features. This is especially true when they’re newer and haven’t been tested as much.
Sara M.
·
Got it. Thanks for clarifying. Would you say Logic is risky to use? I have a client who specifically asked me to used logic to connect their Webflow form to their Mailchimp account. Is it a bad idea to do that?
Lee F.
·
Honesty, I don’t recall the details but we were using logic to connect a Webflow form to HubSpot and trigger a second form with some follow-up questions after they submitted. I forget how it didn’t work, but it sure didn’t, and we ended up rebuilding it ourselves.
