How to get your site in English on Webflow

Create a clear and optimized multilingual version for your hotel website

Key points:

  • Webflow does not yet support full native multilingual support.
  • You can create an English version manually or via an integration (e.g., Weglot).
  • Each language should have its own site structure and hreflang tags for SEO purposes.

Having your hotel website in English is a major advantage for attracting an international clientele. Webflow offers several solutions that allow you to create a smooth and well-structured English version without compromising design or SEO.

Option 1: Manually create the English version

  1. Duplicate your existing pages. In the Designer, select each page and click on Duplicate Page. Rename the new page (e.g., “Home EN”, “Rooms EN”, “Contact EN”).
  2. Translate the content. Replace the French text with its English equivalent directly in the Designer or via the Webflow Editor for simplicity. 💡 Tip: Maintain consistent terminology (e.g., “Book Now”, “Our Rooms”, “Contact Us”).
  3. Organize your URLs. Place your English pages in a /en/ folder for a clear structure:
    • /en/home
    • /en/rooms
    • /en/contact
  4. Update your navigation. Add a language selector (e.g., “FR | EN”) to the main menu. You can link it to your English pages via internal links.

Add hreflang tags for SEO. These tags tell Google the language version of each page. Example: <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" href="https://your-site.com/" />

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://your-site.com/en/" />

  1. You can insert them in Page Settings > Custom Code (Head).

Option 2: Use Weglot for automated management

If you would like a faster and fully translated solution:

  1. Install Weglot
    • Create an account on weglot.com.
    • Connect your Webflow project and add the Weglot API key.
  2. Configure your languages. Set French as your primary language and add English as a secondary language.
  3. Customize your translations: Weglot allows you to edit translated texts directly from its dashboard, while maintaining SEO consistency (separate URLs, automatic hreflang tags).

💡 Tip: Weglot automatically manages redirects according to the browser language, thus improving the international user experience.

Best practices

  • Don't just translate the text: adapt the offers, currency, and calls to action for your English-speaking audience as well.
  • Verify that internal links point to the corresponding pages in the same language.
  • Maintain the same structure and SEO tags for each version.
  • Test the site in English on mobile to check the consistency of the design and spacing.

Conclusion

Creating an English version of your Webflow site allows you to expand your visibility and attract an international clientele. Whether you opt for a manual approach or use Weglot, the important thing is to maintain consistency in design, tone, and SEO across your languages.
