Ask HN: Do all headless CMSs just suck at localization?

  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • Strapi

    πŸš€ Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. It’s 100% JavaScript/TypeScript, fully customizable and developer-first.

  • My experience with headless CMSs hasn't been good so far. Two main pain points are localization and relations

    It seems all alarm bells go off the minute you attempt to manage multiple locales.

    See for example Strapi's localization, which has been broken for years with no fix in sight (due to how its designed) [See: https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/12538]

    I feel like one of the core values of any CMS should be excellent UX but that seems far from the truth for headless CMSs.

    I've also tried others like Directus but Strapi seemed the most mature of the bunch
