To create a button in Webflow that switches the text content on a page between Japanese and English upon clicking, you can follow these steps:
- Add a button element to your Webflow project:

- Customize the button's appearance and style using the Webflow Designer.
- Create a custom interaction for the button:
- Select the button and click on the Interactions tab in the right sidebar.
- Click on the '+' icon to create a new interaction.
- Under "Trigger," choose the button click event.
- Set up the initial state of the text content:
- Select the element(s) that contain the text you want to switch between Japanese and English.
- In the initial state of the interaction, set the text content to the default language (e.g., English).
- Set up the second state of the text content:
- Click on the '+' icon in the interaction panel to add a new step.
- Choose the element(s) with the text content again.
- In the second step of the interaction, set the text content to the desired language (e.g., Japanese).
- Set up the logic for toggling between languages:
- Click on the '+' icon in the interaction panel again to add a third step.
- Choose the same element(s) with the text content.
- In this step, set the text content based on a conditional statement.
- Use Webflow's built-in "toggle" option to switch between the initial and second states with each button click.
- Apply the interaction to the button:
- Click on the interaction name at the top of the interaction panel.
- In the "Element trigger" dropdown, choose the button element you added in step 1.
- Preview and test your button:
- Click the "Preview" button at the top right of the Webflow Designer.
- Test the button by clicking on it and verifying that the text content switches between the two languages.
By following these steps, you can create a button in Webflow that toggles the text content on a page between Japanese and English upon clicking. You can apply this technique to any other languages you want to switch between as well.
