TYPO3, WordPress or headless? Choosing a CMS for a multilingual site

Most CMS debates start with features. We start with three questions: who edits the site, how many languages it speaks, and what your IT team allows to run.

Who edits

If marketing publishes every week, the editing experience matters more than any feature list. TYPO3 gives editors structure and permissions; WordPress gives them speed on a smaller site; headless gives developers freedom and asks more of the editor screens.

How many languages

One language is easy everywhere. Four languages with translated URLs, shared media and editors per market is where the choice shows.

  • TYPO3: languages are part of the core, with translation workflows built in.
  • WordPress: plugins handle it well up to a point.
  • Headless: the CMS keeps the content; the front decides how each language is served.
Pick the CMS your editors can run on a Monday morning, not the one that wins the demo.
