Is there a possibility that DnDbeyond also does the same?
I'm Belgian, and i have little issue with english, but some of my players only have a surface level or rough level of understanding of English, so a lot(if not ALL) the time, i have to translate it to them.
Not that i mind or that it poses any issues, but it is a HUGE waste of time.
If there was an option to flick DnDbeyond content in French or Dutch, then it would be such a blessing.(unless there is allready a way to do it and we all missed it?)

I would assume the new FIGS books will be available on here, as all of WOTC's D&D books are.
A much bigger ask you may need to prepare yourself to be disappointed over is asking that the new content be free. Whether D&DBeyond will let you buy the PHB, DMG, and MM once and then own it in all 5 languages is a question only they can answer, but I suspect the answer will be "no", and you'll have to buy them separately.
You can already find most 5E books in French, barring the most recent ones. Amazon.fr has them, or you can look up their isbn numbers there and order them via your local store. Be warned, they're 30-40% more expensive than the English versions.
I don't expect DDB to follow suit any time soon though, they seem to have a lot on their plate just implementing the books in English and the translations would have to be financially viable.

Seeing as how an Italian translation of the Player's Handbook is already available on DDB which is purchased separately from the English version you're probably onto something.

So the Italian PHB isn't the only 5e book available in Italian. The fact that the Italian language translation of D&D is not further supported may actually be further telling.
For DDB to host foreign translations responsibly, they'd have to invest in their own in house language resources (particularly customer service so they can continue the "why can't I get this for free if I have the physical books" in further languages ...). It's unclear whether they or Fandom would do that, I don't know how much Fandom reaches into other languages with its other enterprises. Wizards announces that they're moving the work of translating D&D in-house doesn't instantly mean DDB is somehow obligated or inclined to host said works.
To my parenthetical comment, yeah I don't see D&D Beyond unlocking other languages for owners of content in English, despite how many people will argue "but it's like subtitles." It's not. If you want to own polyglot game resources, I'm 99% sure you'll have to pay for the translations. Otherwise we'd all have the "switch to Italian" toggle for the PHB.

Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
What I'm interested to see is if there will be metric conversion -- I assume so, but it wasn't outright mentioned. If there's finally a formal standard for metric measurements, I think being able to set that as an account preference feels like something a lot of people would like, if it's doable (which is another question entirely).
Basicaly what the title says.
If WotC FINALY, goes through the trouble to translate DnD books in other languages like said here https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/expanding-dungeons-dragons

Want to start playing but don't have anyone to play with? You can try these options: [link].
