What Merchants Think

The "Shopify Translate & Adapt" app receives mixed reviews from merchants. While appreciated for being intuitive and saving time, the app currently falls short on several fronts: inefficiencies in translation accuracy and limitations on the number of translatable languages. Additionally, merchants express frustration over lack of effective support and technical glitches affecting the app's reliability and performance.

Key Strengths

  • Easy to use with intuitive interface.
  • Saves time compared to manual translation.
  • Allows for personalized translation of fields.
  • Facilitates reaching international audiences.
  • Does not incur extra fees.

Common Concerns

  • Allows translation of only up to two languages automatically.
  • Issues with retaining edits and some translations not saving or updating.
  • Lack of advanced multilingual SEO features.
  • Translation accuracy issues requiring significant manual corrections.
  • Technical issues such as server errors and translation data loss.
  • Poor support experience reported by some users.

Final Thoughts

"Shopify Translate & Adapt" is seen as a useful tool for basic translation needs but falls short for businesses with more complex requirements. Its easy-to-use interface is praised, but ongoing technical issues and limited language support hinder its potential. Merchants seeking advanced functionalities might need to explore other multilingual apps or hope for future improvements addressing these drawbacks.

For more than 2 languages you have to translate it bit by bit, which is still great being that you get 2 languages auto translated for free. Loved it!

Funktioniert sehr gut, manchmal geht die sinnhaftigkeit der Texte etwas verloren und man muss nachbessern, ein bisschen mehr Ki würde dem ganzen ganz gut tun. Ansonsten tiptop.

Intuitive Bedienung, unkompliziertes Handling, gute Übersetzungen, die nur geringfügig angepaßt werden müssen - super!

Translating Shopify into German was quite tedious, as I had to manually translate 150 checkout pages, each containing 20-30 lines. It took about 3-4 minutes per page to ensure everything was correct. In the end, everything is now clean and well-structured. Replacing images also works perfectly. However, I read a comment from three weeks ago where someone mentioned that their settings were completely erased. To be safe, I exported my translations and hope the same doesn’t happen to me.

App works fine, but could use some improvements. - Sheduled translations - More than 2 languages - SEO translations

Une bien meilleure version que la précédente. On pourrait améliorer l'ergonomie de la recherche des traductions réalisées ou pas. Ce serait bien d'améliorer l'ergonomie de la recherche de produit. Et que l'on puisse voir clairement ce qui est automatiquement traduit ou pas dans les fiches produits.

For a long time, I couldn’t understand why my product descriptions weren’t updating across English variants (e.g., US, CA, AU, GB). Shopify support repeatedly redirected me, suggesting conflicts with other apps, which caused significant delays in resolving the issue. It turns out the Translate & Adapt app itself prevents automatic syncing of updates between English language variants. If I hadn’t figured this out on my own, my product descriptions would have remained outdated indefinitely, negatively affecting my store’s accuracy and user experience. This limitation is highly inefficient and creates unnecessary manual work.

Shopify Translate might be suitable for basic needs. But it lacks some advanced features available in ConveyThis and Weglot. Notably, Shopify Translate does not offer strong multilingual SEO support (like translated URL slugs and hreflang tags), nor does it provide extensive customization options for language switchers or dynamic content translation. While Shopify's native app supports multiple languages, it doesn't allow as much flexibility in design or API integration for custom translation workflows. It would be great if we could have a custom language selectors, multilingual SEO features, and a robust API for on-demand translations, for more complex or large-scale stores.

I have using this ever since I bought my new theme and my site is very heavy and just now getting to all of the technical Search Console stuff. This app is causing over 3000 errors on google search console with it turned on in my theme. All of these pages after checking are the translated app pages. ERROR__Page indexing Alternate page with proper canonical tag error---ALL FROM THIS APP. No Wonder I have no visitors on my site tc-beauty.com

Me and my team wanted to use this app to translate our shop from english into german. Already the automatic translation of the general theme content and system - in particular the checkout is mostly useless. The app states that these general parts of the Shopify system are "professionally translated" which is a joke, because not even the word checkout is translated into german language - this is one of the most important words and you dont get it correctly translated so that the general german population can understand it? Come on Shopify! As a billion dollar company you can do better! ... Now to the worst part: We took the time to fully translate all the website resources ourselves "manually". After a few days we were close to finishing the translation of all the themes and gerneral website resources like the checkout system. We saved our progress along the way countless times, at least the app is constantly reminding you of that... BUT one morning ALL THE TRANSLATIONS WERE GONE! We have no clue how every translation we did during the last few days just vanished- nobody did anything! The night before everything was there and almost ready to be launched... the next day not a single translation we did the days before was available anymore... This app is competely unusable and a serious risk for anyone who wants to run a shopify shop in multiple languages. If I could give 0 stars, I would do so.

It would be great if you can add more then 2 languages. And it is great for translating the baisics and pages on the webpage. But each artikel you need to do one by one, these need to get more efficiënt.

I’ve been using the Translate and Adapt app for a while now, and unfortunately, it no longer translates pages or products into the desired language, especially after updating them more than twice. The issue has persisted for several months now, and even when I spend a long time translating content manually, it often doesn’t save. I’ve followed all the troubleshooting steps provided, but the issue persists. The app only works if I haven’t modified a product or page more than twice. When I report the issue, I’m always told to contact the app developers — but this is a Shopify-developed app, so I’m left wondering who else I should report it to. Very disappointing!

With the intention of reaching potential clients, this app allows for a broader audience to engage and learn about what my company has to offer.

Seems to work.....except you can only auto translate 2 languages with no option to add more, rendering the app completely pointless for anyone selling in Europe. Not good.

This is a gamechanger for internationalisation. Only the metaobjects could have been included from the start, one has to manually "auto-translate" each object. Or is there another method?

Da mesi sto impazzendo per aggiornare la traduzione dei testi nella homepage ma neanche il Supporto di Shopify mi sa aiutare. La traduzione non é corretta e non si adatta all'originale nemmeno dopo aver cliccato auto-translate diverse volte. Non é possibilie aggiustare la traduzione manualmente proprio nelle parti in cui serve.

The app is good and easy to use, but it does not automaticly redirect to the language in the country the visitor is based...

Yes I would recommend it. In the beginning it took some searching to find out what you do or don't offer, but later you will see and appreciate that you can also translate yourself.

Since December 5, 2024, the app has stopped working correctly. Previously, everything functioned fine. When I selected a language on my shop, I could also change the currency, and the language remained unchanged. Now, translations work properly only if the shop's default currency is selected. My default currency is USD. If I choose USD and set the language to, for example, Italian which I translated, everything works perfectly. However, if I change the currency to Euro, the translations stop working. This issue has never happened before, so the problem must originate from the app. I haven’t made any changes to my shop. Edit: Shopify support has confirmed that the problem is due to their application update...
