Is it feasible to change the content on a Webflow site based on URL parameters such as language parameters?
Yes, it is feasible to change the content on a Webflow site based on URL parameters such as language parameters. This can be achieved by using Webflow's dynamic content feature along with some custom code.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this:
Set up the language parameters: Decide on the URL structure for different languages. For example, you can use /en for English and /es for Spanish. This will allow you to switch between different language versions of your site.
Create CMS collections: In Webflow, set up CMS collections for each language or language variant you want to display. For example, create a collection for English and another for Spanish. Include fields for the content you want to change, such as headings, paragraphs, images, etc.
Set up multi-reference fields: In each CMS collection, create a multi-reference field to link the content to the main pages on your site. This way, you can associate the translated content with the appropriate pages.
Create dynamic lists: On each page where you want to display content based on the language parameter, add a dynamic list. Bind the list to the appropriate CMS collection and filter it based on the language parameter.
Implement custom code: To handle the language parameter and switch between different language versions, you'll need to add some custom code to your Webflow site. This code will read the URL parameter and display the content accordingly.
Style and design the content: Once you have set up the dynamic lists and custom code, you can style and design the content using Webflow's visual editor. Customize the typography, colors, layout, and other design elements to match your site.
By following these steps, you can create a website that dynamically displays different content based on URL parameters such as language parameters. This approach allows you to efficiently manage and localize your site's content for different languages.
