Subdirectory instead of subdomain#87

example.com/es/ instead of es.example.com

Really would love to see this for Webflow integration!

Not being able to have subdirectories is really a bottleneck for my client for continueing to use Weglot as a tool. Do you guys have a timeline on when subdirectories with the Webflow integration will be possible.

Anybody having examples of how they do this with Weglot and Webflow? Is there a solution?

Hi Benjamin, we don’t have a solution for now but we will work on this this quarter. I don’t have an exact date to tell you though

Is there any update here? This is also crucial for our use of weglot with webflow particularly.

This is actually a feature that’s currently blocking us from taking Weglot into real world use. Separate subdomains is such a huge negative impact on SEO that it’s just not an option.

Will it include only geo url slug, or both geo and language url slug?
domain.com/de-de or domain.com/de-en

Any update on this?

The beta is still openly accessible for anyone by sending an email to [email protected]

This product is terrible and laden with risks. URLs constantly break, there is time delay to load translations that doesnt occur on Subdomains that ruins site speed, the URL dashboard is a mess that generates thousands of duplicates.

All of this is not advertised when you onboard with subfolders over subdomains.

If you want to spend thousands of dollars a month on a product that will break your site, then I recommend Weglot.

I’m sure Michael’s experience is legit and he has had issues with Weglot. But I’d like to offer a counter-experience. We’ve been running subfolders for over a year now on our domain curvo.eu, and we haven’t had any of the issues that Michael mentions. Weglot is definitely a huge timesaver for us.

Hey Yoran, our sites are a bit different. Yours is thin, whereas we are an SEO-focused network of sites that scale thousands of pages per website.

The subfolders have caused several issues, notably right now after a language translation for slugs has caused mass 404s across the site.

Weglot are trying to assist on the matter, but they seem confused regarding the problem & a solution for me is not assured. This is not the first time this has happened to us.

How can I set up the subdirectories approach within a subdomain? e.g. subdomain.example.com/pt-br
My root domain is using a nameserver from GCP and my subdomain is using a CNAME with Vercel, but it seems weglot doesn’t accept that
