I wanted to share an idea that could really simplify the way we manage multilingual apps in Glide.
Today, when we want to create an app in multiple languages, we have to duplicate every text field for each language (FR, EN, ES, etc.), which quickly makes the database complicated and harder to maintain.
What if Glide could offer:
Automatic detection of the user’s device or browser language,
A single text field containing all translations in a structured way (like JSON or key-value pairs),
And automatically display the right language version based on the user’s settings?
Benefits could include:
Cleaner and lighter data structure,
Much easier updates and maintenance,
A much better user experience, especially for international apps.
Has anyone else faced the same challenges? Would love to hear your thoughts and maybe gather more interest around this idea!
There’s multiple ways to do it, and all of it is still kind of complicated, I agree that a multilingual app is a very nice and needed feature, hope we hear a good news about it soon.
