Overview

The LILT’s Webflow Connector is a plugin-based integration that allows you to translate your Webflow content with ease. The connector supports all content types, including text, images, and other file assets in your Webflow CMS. This modern, plugin-based connector replaces the legacy Webflow connector, offering a more streamlined and self-serve experience. By installing the LILT app from the Webflow Marketplace, you can directly manage and send content for translation from within your Webflow environment.

​
Key Features

Setup

​
Prerequisites

  • A Webflow account with admin access to the site you want to connect.
  • Webflow’s Localization add-on enabled on your site.
  • A Primary Locale set up in Webflow. This is the source language for your content.

​
Step 2: Configure the LILT App in Webflow

  2. You will be prompted to enter your LILT API Token. Paste the token you received after LILT enabled the connector for your account.

​
Usage

Once the connector is configured, you can manage your translation projects directly from Webflow:
  • Sending Content: Select new or updated content and send it to LILT for translation.
  • Monitoring Status: Track the progress of your translation jobs within the LILT app.
  • Receiving Translations: In the LILT app, click Import on a completed job to pull translations back into Webflow.

Translating Collections vs Items in a collection

When sending content for translation, you have the option to select either entire collections or individual items within a collection.
  • Collections: Select the Resource Type “Collections”, then choose the specific collections you want to translate. This option is useful when you want to translate all items within a collection.
  • Items in a collection: In the Resource Type drop-down, select the name of the collection which contains the items you wish to translate, then choose the specific items you want to translate.

FAQ

Why am I unable to connect to LILT?
  • Double-check that your LILT API Token is correct.
Why isn’t my content being sent for translation?
  • Ensure that you have selected the correct items and target languages in the LILT app within Webflow.
  • Ensure that source content has been added or updated in the Primary Locale. LILT looks for new or changed content to send for translation.
