Webflow Localization costs $9 to $29 per locale per month. Here is how it works, what a multilingual Webflow site really costs, and the cheaper options with the same SEO.
Updated 24 September 2026 · 4 min read
Webflow has had native localization since late 2023, and it is genuinely good. It is also one of the most expensive ways to run a multilingual site, because every language is billed as a separate locale on top of your site plan.
This guide explains how Webflow Localization works, what it costs as of September 2026, and when an external tool gets you the same SEO for a fraction of the price.
How Webflow Localization works
You add locales in the Designer, Webflow creates a localized version of your static pages and CMS items, and you translate them manually or with the built-in machine translation. Each locale gets its own subdirectory (/fr/, /de/), hreflang tags and a localized sitemap.
It is well integrated: you can localize styles and, on the higher tier, assets like images and videos per region.
What Webflow Localization costs
Localization is an add-on billed per locale, per month, on top of your site plan:
| Plan | Locales | Billed yearly | Billed monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 1 to 3 | $9/locale | $12/locale |
| Advanced | 4 to 10 | $29/locale | $35/locale |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom |
Essential includes machine translation of up to 10,000 words per locale per month. Advanced adds asset localization.
The jump is what catches people: three languages cost $27/month, but four languages move you to Advanced at $116/month (billed yearly). Five languages are $145/month, before your site plan.
The alternatives
A translation proxy
A proxy serves your published Webflow pages translated, from their own URL, with hreflang and a sitemap per language. Webflow does not need to know it exists: you add a script and point a DNS record at the proxy. It works on any Webflow site plan.
Lantis
Lantis translates your Webflow site with AI (Gemini), gives you a visual editor and a glossary, and serves each language from its own URL once your domain is connected (subfolder like /fr/ or a subdomain per language).
- €3/month for one language, €2.50 per language from two, €2 from ten.
- 500,000 words per language included, no traffic caps.
- CMS collections are translated like any other page, with no extra configuration.
- The first 100 translations are free, no card needed.
Cost comparison
| Extra languages | Webflow Localization (yearly) | Lantis |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $9/month | €3/month |
| 3 | $27/month | €7.50/month |
| 4 | $116/month | €10/month |
| 5 | $145/month | €12.50/month |
| 10 | $290/month | €20/month |
Webflow prices are per locale on the Essential (1 to 3) and Advanced (4 to 10) tiers, billed yearly, as of September 2026.
How to translate a Webflow site with Lantis
- Create your site in Lantis and pick your languages.
- Add the script in Webflow under Project Settings → Custom Code → Head Code, then publish from the Designer. (Custom code needs a paid Webflow site plan.)
- Check the result: a language switcher appears and pages translate.
- Connect your domain in the Lantis dashboard to get a URL per language. It shows you the exact DNS record and checks when it is ready.
- Submit the sitemap in Google Search Console and watch each language get indexed.
When Webflow Localization is the better choice
- You need to localize assets or layouts per region, not only text.
- You want everything inside the Designer and have up to three locales.
- Your organization only allows first-party tools.
For everything else, especially four or more languages, an external tool is usually several times cheaper. See our full comparison on the Webflow Localization alternative page.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Webflow Localization cost?
As of September 2026, Essential costs $9 per locale per month billed yearly ($12 monthly) for 1 to 3 locales, and Advanced $29 per locale billed yearly ($35 monthly) for 4 to 10 locales, on top of your site plan.
Can I translate a Webflow site without Webflow Localization?
Yes. A script or a translation proxy works on any Webflow site plan. For SEO in every language, choose one that serves each language from its own URL with hreflang.
Does Lantis translate Webflow CMS collections?
Yes. Lantis translates the HTML that Webflow publishes, so blog posts, products and any CMS collection are translated like the rest of the site.
Will switching away from Webflow Localization hurt my rankings?
Not if you keep the same URL structure (for example /fr/) and redirect any URL that changes. Search engines follow the redirects and keep the rankings on the new pages.
