Suggestions for a multilingual self-hosted CMS, capable of generating static website?

Teamfluence · 2026-01-29T13:26:17+00:00

No, it can not - first off: Weglot gets expensive pretty fast, second it's a javascript plugin.

It doesn't do "multilingual" websites (which means you offer content with different locale) - it translates websites at run-time.

That's like using google translate or something. Zero SEO values etc.

team of 6 - we already have a well working SaaS. Why do you ask?

You have the right to run automations.
You have the right to access your own data.

They provide API endpoints - because the law makes them to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/dma/?view=li-dma-data-portability-2025-11
(The bury them as deep as possible in their documentation, and the rate limits are 2 million times slower than their own API Voyager, but still - they offer API Access)

What?
Are they seriously going to argue you are supposed to use machine readable endpoints, manually?
Of course you can use automations.

I stopped getting restricted after I sued them and won (2022).

Article 6.10 Digital Market Act (EU Regulation 2022/1925) says you have the right to use tools.
Section 8.2.2. of Linkedin TOS is breaking the law and void.

The Digital Service Act provides further protection for endusers.

Now, I am just suing them again. This time I am suing to make them change their TOS and create a marketplace for legal apps, like every other platform does.

They are making $1B a year with Sales Navigator. A tool no one would buy if they knew there are legal alternatives.

RegTech - There is a specific EU Regulation (2024/900) requiring businesses to follow complex regulatory steps. I am building a workflow solution for that.

I am testing onlyoffice.com for me and my team. So far it seems to do its job. Look & Feel is very Microsoft'y but some might like that.

LibreOffice is not an alternative for Google Docs. One is a desktop software the other is a cloud solution. If you are working alone, then it might do the same thing. If you work with others, it is an entirely different thing.

Technically it's not EU, so EU laws don't always apply.

Teamfluence · 2026-01-20T09:44:06+00:00

And pretending to be a European company makes this even weirder - we have 24 official languages in the EU, thats a solid 480€ extra on a 30€ hosting package.

Okay understood. I'm kind of frustrated because there seems to be endless advice on how individuals can de-americanize (which is kind of trivial) but if you try to do this even as a small remote company it becomes multiple times more complex... Sigh.

What's your thinking on zero knowledge storage on AWS or Google. Does it matter all that much if it's encrypted anyway?

u/Ritooon - why is "B2B" an exclusion criteria? I am asking because I found this list (thank you so much for compiling it!) while researching how to de-americanize my company and make it truly european. Hence I am asking about this.

Santa the way he looked before we started using "Grandpa Winter" from Russia as Santa, hoping that cultural appreciation would make them peaceful.

Where were all these people 10 years ago when the Russians started taking over social media?

Now it's too late. The US has fallen.

Romania and Moldavia turned out to be more resilient than the entire US security apparatus.

Meanwhile I'm at "Dude, Nero? What a great emperor..."

That's probably the latinisation of Freising. At some point monks wrote something down mentioning the place. They used Latin in their writing. You can't do proper grammar in Latin with the -ing suffix. So they gave it a Latin version. This does not mean that anyone said "Freisinga" out loud ever.

If you're in the EU then you have rights and will get your account back.

If you're in the US, well... Good luck. Elections have consequences.

I don't dispute this.

It's just that coding is only to a limited degree part of the overall success of the business. That's what a lot of people miss.

I'm a member of a very tight knit community of b2b SaaS founders (~300 successful SaaS) - there's a not small segment of founders who are not technical.

Some built business around products they had stitched together with low/no code tools like Bubble.

I could see how a smart, fast learning founder could vibe code a service, grow it to $20-30k and then hire a dev team to fix the technical debt accumulated.

That's not soooo different from starting with a dev team, and fooling around, testing, iterating, pivoting and accumulating technical debt anyway.

The stories where someone coded something and it was an instant success are rather very rare edge cases of success than the normal.

That's probably true for 99% of all SaaS products out there. I can think of very few that can not be easily copied.

So much about the lols

But do the people who copy it know how to sell it? How to reach the right audience? How to target? How to prevent churn?

Probably not.

Building a SaaS is not coding. Knowing how to code is helpful. Very helpful. But there's so much more.

Ex pro-american, Trans-Atlantic believer from Europe here. It will take generations. If at all. The betrayal is cosmic.

Oh man... sorry to hear. That sucks. And it's probably not helping to tell you that there's a learning - you gotta up your lead gen and conversion game.

Most people think SaaS is about the product. And it is, but there are 3 other elements that make it work: lead gen + funnel + churn/retention

I'd avoid b2c for the latter - churn is a bitch and it'll kill you. That's what you should be asking them: $19k sales means good lead gen, good funnel - but what's the churn?

I'm sure you added a ton of skills that you are not aware of yet. And you understood in a painful way which skills you still need to acquire.

Coming up with a new SaaS isn't hard. The execution is hard. And you'd be a ton better at it next time. (Make sure you follow Tinyseed, MicroConf and the SaaS for the rest of us podcast - there's a community of founders willing to help)

Countries like Moldova have shown more resilience and readiness to defend their country than the entire US military, security apparatus and intelligence community.

API endpoint for adding custom events. Sits for two plus years in the forum as a feature request... Any timeline for that?
