Components in Rich Text

Rich Text field values can contain Webflow component instances as <wf-component> markup — see Components in Rich Text for the markup grammar, how to find component and property IDs, and the write constraints.

Query parameters

cmsLocaleIdstringOptional

Unique identifier for a CMS Locale. This UID is different from the Site locale identifier and is listed as cmsLocaleId in the Sites response. This endpoint returns a single item, so it accepts one locale. To retrieve an item in several locales, use List Collection Items with filter[id][eq] and a comma separated cmsLocaleId.

translatablestringOptional

Unique identifier for the secondary Locale you’re translating into. Returns only content that hasn’t been excluded from translation for that locale.

This is independent of localeId, which selects which version of the content is returned. To fetch the source text to translate, request the primary locale’s content and set translatable to the locale you’re translating into:

?localeId={primary locale id}&translatable={target locale id}

Only exclusion rules scoped to manual translation are respected — rules scoped only to automatic translation don’t affect this parameter’s response.

Omitting translatable returns the same response as if this parameter didn’t exist. The value must be the id of one of the site’s secondary locales — the primary locale id, or any other value, returns a 400 error. Requires translation exclusions to be enabled for the site; if they aren’t, the request returns a 403 error.
