No Hebrew language from all worldwide languages. Anti-Semitic app.
Shopify should remove this app from their app store

seriously, the app is really hard to use, I want the currency show only two decimals but I cannot, only can edit one by one manually which takes forever, I asked customer service they said they cannot help either. Now the default USD currency suddenly showing 3 decimals and I cannot edit either.The translation is also very bad

Bugs, bugs, bugs 2-3 bugs per week, they have very fast customer service actually but i need to keep an eye on this app every day so that it doesnt destroy our company, there was a bug where it was duplicating the price digits from 98 to 9998 and made zero sales on that day trying to figure out what was going on... turns out that Transcy had ANOTHER one bug...

Mala experiencia, uno solo quiere traducir su tienda automaticamente y solo encuentra fallos y trabas. Luego el soporte se explica fatal y tardan media hora para resolverte una duda o problema.
Una aplicación de este tipo es para traducir tiendas, no para que nos de dolores de cabeza.

Hands down one of the most difficult apps to use on shopify. the customer support takes 5-10 mins to respond to any question. and most of them have no clue how transcy works. I am exhausted after talking with 3 customer support reps who had no idea the basics of this app... Go elsewhere guys. don't be fooled by the fake reviews.
I am gonna try to get a refund and deleting this app asap. sheesh...
There are MUCH better apps for this job that are muchhh easier to use..
Hands down the hardest app on shopify... no contest.

I have been an user of this app for quite a few months now. I think they have the worst customer support I have ever seen in my life. Robotic answers, no empathy and after using their app and activating a 129$ option that I DID NOT USE AT ALL for 3 months, they did not even want to help with a partial refund.
I will NEVER recommend using this app and I truly encourage you to go and try other options that have better support. My review is purely based on the support and how they did not want to help AT ALL. imagine spending 400$ on a software that you did not use AT ALL and then, after confirming that the basic option will still be active and you will continue to pay them monthly, they are not willing to help with a credit at least.
Anyway, hope this helps you guys!

From customer service to the pricing everything was beyond terrible. I'm being charged for +70 usd although my plan is supposed to charge much less. I've uninstalled it, and it still charges me. I don't know how to stop this and there is no help.

3 Monate SEO-Arbeit für uns ruiniert. Achtung: diese App setzt canonical Tags und dadurch wurden wir bei Google abgestraft. Richtig mies. Die App ist ansonsten auch etwas kompliziert aufgebaut. Sind leider nicht zufrieden.

Disappointing Experience with Transcy AI :
I had a really frustrating experience with Transcy AI. The app was difficult to use and plagued with multiple bugs. I initially chose a plan to test it out, but due to all the issues, I ended up uninstalling it. After a month, I decided to give it another try and pick the plan that suited my needs, only to be told that I couldn’t have a free trial anymore. Even though I couldn't use it properly the first time because of the bugs, they insisted I pay upfront. They have all the data of my previous use, yet they expect you to pay for something you never really got to test. On top of that, their customer service takes a long time to respond. Honestly, for an app with such a reputation, this is far from professional. I cannot recommend Transcy AI due to their lack of flexibility, especially when it was their fault in the first place.

Use caution when using this app. Actually, no one should be using this app as it is SEO killer. The app does not comply with Google's SEO guidelines, which leads to google not indexing translated pages due to 302 Redirect.
The team know the issue but apparently their response to the issue is that their app "focuses on the storefront". This is Bull*.
If you want your store to be discoverable from Google, DO NOT USE THIS APP.
Now this is for the redirection.
When it comes to translations:
1. It is just an expensive version of the basic Shopify App using Google Translate. To use the AI version you need to pay even more.
2. It has a better user experience that the basic Shopify App, but still not in Sync with the already translated content. Content translated outside the App is considered Untranslated. Doesn't make sense.
Only + from my experience using the App is their Support team. They are always very responsive and helpful despite the quality of their app.

Edit of review on the 16th of September 2024 - In response to Transcy response.
-----------------------------------------------
You mentioned that you tried to provide solution to resolve that.
"However, we still have tried to provide the relevant solution to resolve that, meanwhile we seriously noted this feedback to improve our app"
That's not true. What you asked me to do is to turn on the recommendation. When I asked you if that will work, your answer was that "It might mitigate the issue". You did not provide a clear and confident answer/solution. Even though you knew that it won't work (i suspect, considering all the other negative reviews), you still recommended me a not functional solution to my problem. That's worst than be straight from the beginning and then saying "We are not responsible for SEO, just the storefront".
Regarding content untranslated outside the app, you can just create a status "Translated by Third Party" instead of "Untranslated". By having the status of Translated content as "Untranslated" you prompt user to translate already translated content and pay even more. That's questionable practice.

STAY AWAY. Pick an Actual Translator App that actually works!
Completely broke my websites structure, and EFFECTIVELY DESTROYED MY STORE. I made a yearly subscription, and this shitty app with lazy dev just completed WRACKED my store.
The app is totally, NOT useable. Every 1 Star Review You Read Here Is TRUE. I Met the EXACT SAME ISSUE PEOPLE REPORT 1 YEAR AGO, AND THEY NEVER FIX IT. This speaks volume about how shitty this app is, and they will NOT Fix it Whatever. Doubt any of the 5 Star review is true or faked.

The worst application, two days trying to make it work and nothing. Frustrating and unnecessary work. The cheaper apps are just as good, if not better, than what is offered here. Not satisfied at all, and I do not recommend it.

I don't get it. Your free plan says "1 Language, 1 Currency". I just installed and being told I have used up my language for the free plan. The 1 Language you are referring to is my primary store language. It doesn’t make sense to say 1 Language and you are referring to my primary language - so what am I looking for translation for? I feel frustrated

Have tried them with my store to translate in various languages. Surprisingly by using them my pages started getting de indexed by google. The reason mentioned by google was user defined canonical tag. We tried to contact them and they could not figure out the problem. They asked us to approach google. Later we had to uninstall them and now my pages are indexed by google. Use them with your own risk.

Terrible app!!!!
Wanted to do 7-day free trial and before I knew it I had subscribed and was unable to cancel plan.
Next: Very user unfriendly interface.
+ Unable to find how to manually make modifications to the translation.
+ If you have question, you need to buy expensive tickets before you can be helped.
Unbelievable this app has 4.8 stars...
