Multilingual Content Management System

Creating a multilingual website is essential for reaching an audience from diverse language backgrounds, as it tackles the significant challenge of the language barrier. Strapi, a popular open-source Headless CMS, has introduced the Internalization (i18n) Plugin to enable users to create and manage localized content in multiple languages, also known as "locales." This feature allows admins to create several localized versions of their content by fetching and producing the right content depending on the language understood by the audience. Having a multilingual website is not only beneficial for reaching a broader audience but also improves brand image and enhances customer experience. Additionally, it can increase sales and improve search engine rankings, as most key search engines like Google are developing the capacity to run searches in foreign languages. However, there are downsides to creating multilingual websites, including translation costs and potential loss of meaning in translation, which requires a professional translator with knowledge of local dialects.
