Can a multilanguage website be created in Webflow with a maximum of 3 languages? Is there a guide available for this? Can the Guesty API be integrated for making reservations? Is it possible to add a custom chat to a Webflow website?

TL;DR
  • Create a multilingual Webflow site (up to 3 languages) using built-in Localization to manage translations, SEO, and language-specific URLs.
  • Integrate the Guesty API via custom JavaScript, automation tools like Zapier/Make, and external backends due to Webflow’s client-side limitations.
  • Add a custom chat by embedding widget scripts through Webflow’s Custom Code areas or embed components.

Yes, Webflow supports creating a multilingual website (e.g., up to 3 languages), allows external API integrations like Guesty, and supports adding custom chat features. Below are step-by-step details for each topic.

1. Creating a Multilanguage Website (Up to 3 Languages)

  • Webflow supports multilingual sites natively through its Webflow Localization (available on paid plans like Business or Enterprise).
  • You can add up to 3 languages using the Webflow Localization beta features or third-party tools.
  • Native Webflow Localization allows you to:
  • Duplicate pages or content per language.
  • Translate text, alt tags, and collection content.
  • Set separate SEO tags (titles/descriptions) per language.
  • Assign domains or subdirectories (e.g., /en, /fr, /de).
  • There is official Webflow documentation for Localization:

2. Integrating the Guesty API for Reservations

  • Guesty offers an API for managing reservations, properties, users, etc.
  • In Webflow, you can integrate Guesty using:
  • Custom JavaScript embedded in components or in Project Settings > Custom Code.
  • Automation tools like Zapier or Make.com, which support Guesty and Webflow.
  • Authentication handling (Guesty typically requires an API token in headers).
  • You can build a custom UI with forms in Webflow, and trigger API calls via JavaScript or through a backend server (such as using AWS Lambda or a proxy).
  • Note: Webflow itself cannot make direct server-side API calls—it must go through a client-side script or external backend.

3. Adding a Custom Chat to a Webflow Site

  • You can embed any custom chat widget using:
  • Custom Code Sections under Project Settings > Custom Code (Footer or Head).
  • Embed components in your Webflow pages.
  • Examples:
  • Integrate Tawk.to, Crisp, Intercom, or a fully custom-built chat using WebSocket/backend.
  • Paste the embed script provided by your chat provider.
  • Webflow supports lazy loading and other performance optimizations—ensure chat scripts are placed appropriately to avoid blocking render.

Summary

You can build a 3-language multilingual Webflow site using its built-in Localization tools. Guesty API integration is possible through custom JavaScript or automation tools. Adding a custom chat widget is supported via embed code. Use Webflow’s Custom Code areas to inject third-party integrations as needed.
