First why the popup works only "sometimes" ? And why the language selector is on the footer ? Finally, this app is useless. The only solution to get an multi-language boutique is to pay an app (and it's about 29$ / month).

Hi there, thanks for your review. To clarify, the Geolocation app does not translate your store for you - it redirects people to the right language based on what you have configured in your Markets.

You can translate your store into different languages for free using the Translate and Adapt app: https://apps.shopify.com/translate-and-adapt

I wish I had written a more positive review...
I just want the plugin to redirect the user to the appropriate currency and language for my site and it doesn't work, only the local currency is applied but it's impossible to redirect to a language automatically (while manually, everything works).
After two hours of support with Shopify, this does not seem to work, the support does not seem to understand anything...

Edit following your reply:
For information, the window indicating that the site must be adapted into English is displayed, but when I click on continue, the language of the site chosen does not apply. However, when I use my classic manual method to change the language, it works.

We do not automatically change the currency or language based on a visitors location because this goes against Google's guidelines and can be detrimental to your SEO.
