Contentful Connector
is a headless CMS and iLangL Cloud is the best localization solution for it.
First of all, what is a headless CMS? It is a CMS with strict separation of backend and frontend. The data sharing between backend and frontend is implemented via REST API and reused by our connector.
The highlight of headless CMS is its ability to distribute content via different channels to multiple devices which requires investment into development. The flexibility of headless CMS, however, puts big responsibility on your development team since they need to create a lot from scratch and evaluate the best approach in advance. Localization is one of the aspects that need to be thoroughly analyzed before data structure of the further solution is defined. If you don’t take localization model in account, you may have to redesign the entire application in order to add multilingual support of your data.
Localization is a complex process already, and with the headless CMS in place it may require even more efforts and resources. For example, support of many interfaces for multiple markets may become a big challenge for your company, while our solution can reduce your localization efforts dramatically.
