I’m hopeful

Multilingual option should be available

One of the biggest problems/challenges when starting a website is getting traffic and even more so getting members. In my opinion, a multilingual option can help. Giving your visitors the option to choose a language, has some great consequences for your site's look as well. A site which exists in multiple languages automatically seems more professional to visitors and -the biggest advantage obviously- they can understand what is on your website. Most websites will probably use this multilinguality as bilinguality, providing theirsite in both English and their own language.

At the moment, I don't think this option is available for webs-users. For free users I'm quite sure it doesn't, not a 100% sure for premiums though. In any case, I would strongly suggest introducing this feature into the website builder. Perhaps a button so that with one click you can switch to a version of your site in another language and easily maintain the structure of it (same pages etc) and just translate it (probably manually) to the desired language. For example, I'm building a website about football in Belgium, so obviously most people I'm aiming to visit my website will speak Dutch. But I also want to be able to bring news about Belgian football to people who don't speak Dutch. Therefore, an option to choose English can prove to be vital to my site's success, especially given that not that many people speak Dutch and about the entire world does know English.

I hope this idea can be put into practice, because I think it is a great idea which webs users' sites will surely benefit from.
