How to integrate Localizer with Webflow

Localizer offers multiple integration paths with Webflow, from simple JavaScript embeds to advanced API connections.

While Localizer doesn't have an official Webflow Marketplace app, you can use embed methods for quick setup or build custom workflows using Webflow's Localization APIs for maximum control over multilingual content delivery.

Use embed methods and native features

Webflow's native localization features combined with JavaScript embeds enable quick multilingual setup without complex integrations. Start by enabling Webflow Localization in your project settings to add multiple locales and manage translations visually.

JavaScript widget implementation requires minimal technical knowledge:

• Copy the Localizer script snippet from your dashboard
• Paste it into Webflow's Custom Code section (Project Settings > Custom Code > Head Code)
• The widget automatically scans your site content and enables language switching
• Customize the language switcher appearance to match your brand

Native Webflow features that work seamlessly with external localizers:

• Visual locale management lets you switch between languages in Webflow and preview each version
• Per-locale styling adjusts typography, spacing, and layouts for different languages
• Element visibility controls show or hide content blocks based on the selected locale
• Image and alt text localization swaps media assets for culturally appropriate versions

For enhanced functionality, use custom language switchers that integrate with Webflow's locale system while maintaining your design aesthetic.

Build with Webflow and Localizer APIs

Direct integration with Localizer.co is limited to JavaScript widget implementation combined with Webflow's Localization API. While Localizer.co provides translation management through their dashboard, they do not offer public API endpoints for programmatic integration.

Key capabilities include automated translation updates, bulk content management, and custom localization logic.

Automate content synchronization

Build bi-directional sync between Webflow CMS and your translation platform:

1. Set up webhooks in Webflow to trigger when content changes using the webhook configuration
2. Extract localizable content via the Pages API to send text and rich content to Localizer

‍

3. Push translations back using the DOM write endpoints to update locale-specific text and rich text content automatically. Note that DOM write operations are currently limited to text-based elements only.

The CMS Items API with cmsLocaleIds parameter enables filtering and updating content by language, supporting dynamic multilingual blogs, product catalogs, and documentation.

Implement custom translation workflows

Create tailored approval processes and quality checks:

1. Monitor translation status by integrating Localizer's translation completion webhooks with your project management tools
2. Validate content completeness using Webflow's Component Properties API to ensure all localizable elements have translations
3. Deploy approved translations programmatically using locale-specific update endpoints

The Component Properties API enables updating component text content in secondary locales only, requiring individual locale specification for each update operation."

What you can build

Integrating Localizer with Webflow opens possibilities for creating truly global digital experiences.

• International e-commerce stores: Build product catalogs that automatically display in the visitor's language with localized pricing, descriptions, and checkout flows while maintaining inventory sync across all locales
• Multilingual marketing sites: Create region-specific landing pages with culturally adapted messaging, testimonials, and calls-to-action that resonate with local audiences
• Global SaaS platforms: Develop software websites with fully translated documentation, support content, and user interfaces that expand market reach without duplicating design work

Localized content hubs: Build blogs or resource centers where articles automatically appear in multiple languages with proper SEO optimization for each market
