Limitations
- No automated translation support
- No "Editor" support for translation
- All translation requires some form of Designer access
Possible Solution
I haven’t tested it, but on 2024-Jan-24 Webflow announced that translation was added to “Editor Mode”, which refers to the editor role in the designer.
You might be able to set it up as follows;
- Client-owned free workspace
- Site in that workspace, running on the appropriate plan + localization
- You invited as a guest
- Site configured so that the client has a Site access role of “Can edit”
- Your invited account has “Site admin”
This should hopefully give you the basic setup you’re looking for. You can design, the client can edit and translate, they are paying for the site.
Alternately, you can use your own CC and bill them, but… that get weird if they uninvite you from the workspace. I guess you’d call support to have your CC removed?
Obviously it’s not super easy to set this up- likely you’d have to create the account for them, and setup the hosting for them which mean them trusting you with their Google login and credit card info, or else them learning how to do it themselves through video tutorials you create.
