Yes, you can duplicate text fields inside a collection in Webflow and show one based on the selected language. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Create your collection: First, you need to create a collection in Webflow that includes the text fields you want to duplicate and show/hide based on language.

  2. Duplicate the text fields: Duplicate the text fields within your collection. For example, if you have a text field for the English language, duplicate it to create another one for the second language (e.g., Spanish). You can do this by selecting the text field element and clicking on the duplicate icon.

  3. Create a language switcher: To allow users to switch between languages, you need to create a language switcher. This can be achieved using dropdown menus, radio buttons, or any other method you prefer.

  4. Show/hide text fields based on language: Next, you'll need to use Webflow's Conditional Visibility feature to show or hide the appropriate text field based on the selected language. Select the element containing the text field, go to the Style tab, click on the eye icon next to the display property, and set up your conditions. For example, you can set a condition to show the English text field when English is selected in the language switcher, and show the Spanish text field when Spanish is selected.

  5. Style the text fields: Lastly, make sure to style the text fields for each language accordingly. You can do this by selecting the text fields individually and applying the desired styles using Webflow's design tools.

By following these steps, you can duplicate text fields inside a collection in Webflow and only show one based on the selected language. This allows you to easily manage multi-language content within your Webflow project and provide a localized experience for your users.
