Hi Meng,

This is from Emma and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience

Regarding to your concern, please let me make it clear you got the app charge although you no longer use the app, it's because you did not uninstall the app, so after your account is unfrozen, your account will be automatically resumed based on Shopify's rule

We have seen that one of our colleagues is following your case via email, she gave you clear explanation, please kindly check your email and let her know if you need further support

Bait and switch. They claim that they offer you unlimited AI translations for 1 language, only to find out that the app is completely useless without the paid subscription.

I expect much more from an app that costs us 480 USD/year! It's awesome that Transcy can translate 3rd party apps, but the problem is that only machine translation is available for 3rd party apps. Unfortunately the machine translations are sometimes quite poor, which makes us look unprofessional to our customers, something that also affect their trust for us negatively. The app is quite buggy as well sometimes, which is both frustrating and steal a lot of time. With this said, I want to highlight that the customer support is excellent, they always reply quickly and solve most problems. I just wish I didn't have to contact them so often. UPDATE: 9 months later the app is still very buggy. You better keep an eye on your website daily because you never know when there will be a bug that messes up your site. Examples: Some 3rd party apps don't get translated consistently. Sometimes they get translated, sometimes not, seems to be random. Older manual translations that have been working perfectly, suddenly gets auto translated instead without you changing anything. These auto translations are obviously not as good as manual human translations. To make it work properly again, you have to spend time with customer support. The cost of 480 USD/year is not justified. Would not recommend this app to anyone. The second we find another app that can translate 3rd party apps we will switch.

Hi Mårten,

Here's Henry from Transcy - Translate Language and Convert Currency Customer Support Team and we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience caused to your store.

Regarding to your concern as machine translation. For making it clear, we are using an AI Translation System including Google, so sometimes quality will not meet customer's expectation due to specific language/context/situation/business industry. However, we guarantee that the system is being upgraded frequently, and the quality keeps improving when time goes.

Due to the limitation of AI system, we provide Edit translation feature in case customer can modify target translation if any mistakes made by AI.

I have seen you are having an active chat with my colleague, please reply to them for further help.

Regards,
Henry

The "attention required" flag is for apps that need technical attention. Transcy uses this alert to push sales, which is really shady and inappropriate.

Hi there,

This is Brian and we're truly sorry for this inconvenience causing to your experience

In relation to your concern about the app notification, actually in order to remind customer by completing the set-up step, once you click on it, it will not show again. Here, maybe there's a misunderstanding and made customer confused, so the notification has been removed for a long time, however it's still showing on some customers somehow

They would not refund charges, holding on to funds until we simply gave up. Scandalous customer service.

The app itself is great but no go for me, as we could not sort this out.

I must urgently warn everyone against this app – it's a complete disaster. The experience is frustrating, especially when switching to the German language interface, as it forces you to manually reset settings for other languages. Despite shelling out 598 annually for their premium version, the app's deficiencies are painfully evident.

The customer support is downright atrocious. I implore you all to steer clear of this app. It's an absolute waste of money and time, and an exercise in sheer disappointment

Hi Alexander,

This is John and we would like to apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience

We have not received any contact from you since October 25th, 2023. According to the previous conversation, here are some explanations for your concerns:

1. Your default language is German. Transcy has not changed anything on your default store. Could you please give us more information about the issue when switching to the German language?

2. After adding another language as your target language, you will need to translate it via Transcy. We provide a quick action to Translate by AI, then you can modify the translation to be more professional.

3. On the previous conversation, our support team guided you to sync the content and re-translate them, if you had changed the default content. Because we did not changed your manual translation without your permission, so this action was needed.

However, I could see that our agent was not giving you the work-around solution to translate the store automatically without managing and storing the translation in-app (and Shopify). At the moment, one of our colleagues is following your case via our support ticket, please allow her to continue the conversation there.
Regards,
John

The app is very slow and lag all the time, really frustrating. Also, hundreds of random words from my themes are taken into consideration, even though they are not present on my website. It becomes impossible to find a word to translate in particular. And the team is not helpful with that.

Hi 朱大掰,

I'm Peter from Transcy - Translate Language and Convert Currency Customer Support Team and we're deeply sorry for this inconvenience caused.

Regarding to your concern as following:

The first issue is the loading page speed in back end, If it happened on back end, it depends on how many pages as well as languages you're translating, it means the more pages or languages you have, the slow loading speed it should be.

The second issue as "Also, hundreds of random words from my themes are taken into consideration, even though they are not present on my website", the random words may come from your store theme, also because of theme limit, our app cannot detect those words in-app to edit, our app just automatically translate it properly, in case you want to edit it, we will help you from our system. For further check and help you resolve completely, my colleague has contacted you properly, please let them about it.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,
Peter

I must express my extreme disappointment with my experience using this app. While the customer service team was prompt in their responses, it became evident that they lacked a clear understanding of the issues at hand. I invested a significant amount of time attempting to resolve the problems, only to find that fixing one issue led to the distortion of another aspect. Despite my efforts to provide detailed screenshots in an attempt to facilitate problem-solving, there consistently seems to be a recurring flaw in the solutions offered.

There are many things to be improved about this app's functionality.

Worst app I've ever used. It was a good app when I first downloaded 2 years ago. They changed their new UI and it hadn't worked properly until I contacted them.

They especially messed up my international SEO which took me years to get there. Product pages' meta descriptions are completely from different products, same for h1 and h2 either. I gave them a chance to help me but they tell me that I need to update pages manually which is ridiculous because I have over 2k products in my store. It's not possible for me to do it.

They messed up my international SEO ranks and are not willing to help me. Never ever use this app.

Response to Peter:

It's not about me getting used to the new version. Your app obviously wasn't translating properly until I contacted you. So it is NOT me, it's you. You should take responsibility instead of trying to look like you're helping me, no you are NOT.

It is mind blowing. They emailed me today and said that 'please let us know if you need further assistance'. Is this a joke? Really?

I already told you what the issue is. Why have you NOT still fixed it instead of keep emailing me and saying that 'please let us know if I need help'.

Total waste.
