I really wish I could have read all these 1 star review before I made the purchase and I suggest you all do it pls, because all those 5 stars are probably fake from my experience:
1. The function itself did not work & they are making misleading claim and obvious violation of advertising law
- THEY’RE GOOD AT MAKING MISLEADING CLAIM BUT A JOKE IN PRODUCT DESIGH: I was using their growth plan and according to the scheme, I am eligible to use the advanced language feature & auto detect & translate features. However, to use advanced language I have to set up sub folders in Shopify Market and doing so would disable the auto detect & translate feature. It’s really ridiculous to develop two features that clash with each other but to advertise publicly is so low even for them.
- CANNOT TRANSLATE CHECKOUT PAGE: before making the payment, they promised they could achieve auto translate checkout steps. But the reality is if your customers check out with shopify pay, which most of the customers would, the page did not get translated
- SLOW DOWN YOUR PAGE SPEED: my page speed drop from 89 to 83 after installing this app
2. The product experience is trash:
- THIS IS NOT THE PLUG IN & GO APP YOU EXPECT: the setup is really confusing and cannot find a detailed step by step guide to explain how it works and how to set up.
- POOR USER EXPERIENCE: the interface is also trash and not self-explanatory. I had to keep jumping back and forth to get just 1 setup done.
3. The only thing their customer support did was passively responding, lying or trying to passing the buck
- EXTREMELY SLOW IN RESPOND: it took ages for the support to answer just a Yes or No question
- ATTEMPT TO CLOSE MY CASE WITH LIES: I reached out to support on how to set up because this dump app make it extremely confusing. Probably trying to close the case asap, the support guy Bo lied and did not reveal all the steps needed to me at at the first place. He only told the truth after I confirmed with him several times
- ALWAYS TRYING TO PASS THE BUCK: this app is a collection of bugs but every time I asked them to solve them, they were like ‘oh, shopify own the code, you should go ask shopify to deal with it’. Come on, I am paying you guys to do the auto translate, not shopify! If there is some technical problems between you and shopify, it should be you to reach shopify and get it fixed, not your customers!
------------
Regarding the misleading reply from Trancy:
1. Their support agent Bo, explained in details that setup sub folder on shopify would disable their geolocation app which is required by their auto language detect & translate features. But turn off sub folder would disable advanced language
2. if you cannot translate the checkout step, no matter the reason, you should not advertise and promise auto translate of checkout page
3. I already have more than 10 apps installed and my page speed score was 89 before installing this stupid app. But after installing this app, it was down to 83. This dump app alone slow me down by 6! And you told me it's normal?
The biggest problem with this app is these dishonest guys denied every issues, blame their bug to shopify and tried to build a business on lies
Hi Guancheng,
This is Stephen and we're deeply sorry for your unexpected experience with our app
In relation to your concerns as following:
1. For the first point " to use advanced language I have to set up sub folders in Shopify Market and doing so would disable the auto detect & translate feature" => for making it clear, it might be an misunderstanding information, regardless of setting subfolder or not from Shopify, you still use advanced language on on both subfolder and primary domain normally and there is no impact on auto detect and translate feature.
- Besides that, auto switch language will work on both primary as well subfolder domain, however if you use subfolder, you need to enable location recommendation on switcher setting
- Here, for your case, because you asked that why you did not see other markets to assign language in our app, so to assign language depending on other markets, you should set subfolder on Shopify
2. "unable to translate checkout page": as one of my colleagues as Teresa has explained about why the checkout page coming from the button "Shop pay" was not translated, it's because the page is set a hard code in English, it means it just worked in English, did not support directing to multi-language even if we proactively contacted Shopify about this issue and they also clearly confirmed it's their limitation
3. "SLOW DOWN YOUR PAGE SPEED: my page speed drop from 89 to 83 after installing this app", generally the more third parties you install, the lower speed your page is, so when you installed our app which also needs code inserting on your theme to work , so it's inevitable to make your page speed lower. Here, we follow Shopify's regulations on store page speed to minimize the impact on users' store. However, to operate an app, it will somewhat affect the speed but not significantly
4. Overall, based on the negative effects brining your experience, we have seriously noted those points and will take it into consideration to improve in the better way. Nothing is flawless and we're trying to improve our app day by day. Besides that, for unexpected support from our agents, we will recheck their work carefully and have a proper training for them in order to avoid it in the future. Also please believe me that single conversation does not reflect the whole support and product quality we have built for years, so we highly appreciate your empathy on this situation
We have seen that one of our colleagues is reaching out you with clear explanations, please kindly check your email and let him know if you need further support

Worst experience with a Shopify app I have ever had. After installing the app, I noticed that the translations weren't displaying correctly and that different currencies weren't showing. I asked the support team for help and after giving them some access to my store, they kept me on chat for about 2 hours. After 2 hours, and very little progress, they told me that they needed increased admin access to be able to edit my markets, I explained multiple times that I was not going to give said access as it would be in breach of customer data legislation and would expose my customer data to a third party (they were requesting orders access).
The support team ignored my explaination and kept saying that this was going to be the only way to fix the issue. As we weren't making any progress and the support team insisted on getting me to grant them access to my customer data, I asked for a refund. Then I was told that as per their t&cs, if I refused to give "staff account" access that would be against their refund policy and therefore I couldn't get a refund. I explained that I shouldn't find myself in the position of breaching data law in order to be compliant with their policies but again that fell on deaf ears.
Through their behaviour they've shown how little they care about data security so I wouldn't recommend this app to anybody. Besides, the refund request is now "being assessed", I doubt I'll ever see the money again. Waste of time.
Hi Giuseppe,
This is John. On the behalf of the team, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that you have been through.
Since translation and currency are working under Shopify Markets rule, that's why we ask for the Markets permission (Shopify has defined that to access Markets, it will require those permission). However, it was our mistake for not understanding your explanation about your country privacy policy.
Our Support team has contacted your via our support system to process the next action of your request. Hope to hear from you soon
Regards,
John

Worst experience ever. Although we opted for the Premium plan, they made us wait 5 days for an app that has missing translations, false translations and our website's usability and speed went down considerably. We are shocked to see how this app can have so many positive reviews. I think most of its users don't speak any other languages. "Check out" was translated as "Vérifier" in French which means verify. Apps are not translated, doesn't integrate well with Shopify Markets. The support is terrible and slow. An overall catastrophic experience that made us loose a lot of revenue during 5 days due to bugs, errors and mis-information. We were promised 24-48 hours, then a specific day and none of these delays were respected. Unprofessional, unethical and uncaring -> worst experience with a Shopify App. EDIT: They didn't even delete their code after saying that I wanted to delete the app, they basically just sent an article on how to delete left over code, worst way to treat customers!
Hi Alper,
I'm Maria and we are deeply sorry for your bad experience with us.
Regarding to your main concerns as following:
1. For unexpected support from our agent, we will recheck carefully and have a proper training for them in order to avoid it in the future. Also please believe me that single conversation does not reflect the whole support and product quality we have built for years, and I highly appreciate your empathy in this situation.
2. Based on the main issue with translation, as usual our app will work properly and is compatible with most of the current themes, however with strange theme as well as special theme, if it's not working with our app, we need to check it further and try to adjust or even if customize it manually to work with our app, we're here willing to help and try our best, we did not want to give up anything immediately if it's out of our control, so it's the main reason why we need more time to check and I highly appreciate your empathy in this situation
I have seen that one of my colleague is reaching out you but unsuccessful, please check your email and the relevant channel for further support. Looking forward to hearing from you soonest
Regards,
Maria

Tried to use this app, but unfortunately, this app created too many issues, and did not work in my case.
1. My search results became a a mess - all the titles multiplied 5 times 2. Getbutton icon that allows customers to communicate with us via WhatsApp became unusable and huge
3. Their support is there, but not really solving the issue, nor I can tell in confident they understood my problem.
4. After removal of the app, their code has been left in my template and still caused problems to my site appearance. I had to pay developers to find the problem and remove their code manually. It looks like big and complicated system and I would suggest to try this app on non-production site first, to avoid issues like mine.
Hi there,
This is Jesse from Transcy - Translate Language and Convert Currency Customer Support Team and we`re truly sorry for this inconvenience caused.
As we have checked your case and seen that
1. "My search results became a a mess - all the titles multiplied 5 times", recently Shopify has changed some rules on their system. In this update, they've found some small bugs unexpectedly that might affect to our functionalities or working process in few cases and we're noticed from Shopify system already.
2. "Getbutton icon that allows customers to communicate with us via WhatsApp became unusable and huge", once you translate your page, something such as icon or button from your website might be affected, and this can be completely fixed by us.
3. We have checked your conversation with my related colleague who has supported directly your case to avoid this next time.
4. Leftover code issue, sometimes, there will have some lines of code leftover on your site for some reasons. However, we have an published article for this and you can resolve it by yourself.
You are having an active chat with my Dev support, please consider to reinstall our app and let us have a chance to support with the highest priority?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon
Regards,
Jesse

Disappointing.. The app has several issues:
1) Glossary automatically and adds tags between the words that are in the rule. For both excluding rules and including rules. This causes either these tags showing up in the frontend or that there is no space between the words.
2) Besides that the Glossary is buggy, there is no option to upload a glossary file - this makes it quite useless - imagine adding 100s of rules manually
3) The translation itself is quite poor and doesn't really differs from any other much cheaper translation apps - the same mistakes are made. At least it's not to use for our specific terms in cycling. The bicycle parts are translated terribly. Also the brands are translated.
4) The cost of the app is not reflecting the quality of what you get - it is slow, it is buggy and it is not any better than apps that cost 10% of what this one is asking...
Sorry but not a good app.
Hi Alexander,
This is Kaity and we would like to apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience
In relation to your concerns as following:
1. For Glossary rule and the Transcy is showing on your store, I have noted this point and are trying to find the relevant solutions to resolve it completely
2. The option is to upload Glossary rule by file, unfortunately we have not yet supported this function yet, however I have seriously noted this point and will take it into consideration
3. For the quality of AI translation, 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. Also due to the limitation of AI system, we provide Edit translation feature in case customer can modify target translation if any mistakes are made by AI, so I highly appreciate your empathy on this situation
We have seen that one of our colleagues is following your case, please let him know if you need further support

Kaity

Auto translation only works if you pay the most expensive plan, when we realized that, we asked for a refund as we used the app only for an hour and they literally refused. It also mess up with your copy layout after translation, like bolding everything or coloring unwanted text. The support is very slow it took 5 days for them to try to fix the issues before finally giving up and telling us they can't fix it.
Hi MINH,
This is Orson from Transcy - Translate Language and Convert Currency Customer Support Team and we`re truly sorry for this inconvenience caused.
As we have checked your case and seen that
1. For making it clear, auto translation function is available on Essential plan. Also for your refund request, based on our refund policy, since we are offering Free plan for testing purpose, we do NOT offer free trial, and/or refund for any Paid plan. However, case by case we still consider to refund properly, for your case you might misunderstand my colleague that she said that because this function was not available on your current plan, so she agreed your refund request.
2. "It also mess up with your copy layout after translation, like bolding everything or coloring unwanted text", we have checked that you have not yet provided the information in details, so we cannot support you to fix it further.
3. In relation to slow support, for making it clear after each of your message, we immediately responded. However, hope you sympathize us based on the different kinds of issues, each issue needs Dev team to check and find out the best solution. Importantly, we will try our best to find the root cause and fix the issue before giving up, so it may take times. Once again please accept my deepest apologies in regard to this inconvenience caused
My colleague has sent you a follow-up email, please let them know if you need further help. Looking forward to hearing from you soon

If you're tired of your Shopify website This is the best App to ruin it, they'll be super quick at the beginning to support and get their messy application set up on your website and add the switcher and they'll ask for your rating and review right after installation and you've no idea what a mess they did in your website theme, after that everything will stop working and non of these ppl will even get back to you.

(REQUEST MY REFUND) Transcy - Translate & Currency (Uninstalled) 2021-11-03 - 2021-12-03
Try to give this application more opportunities to solve the problem I have with your application, but everything has been in vain, the customer service is terrible, until today they have not solved my problem, I have wasted my time with this app . I will try other apps, please request my refund. THANK YOU.
Hi Viviana,
I'm Miranda from Transcy - Translate Language and Convert Currency Customer Support Team and we are deeply sorry for your bad experience with us.
Regarding to your concern as following:
1. First of all, your refund request was resolved, from the day when we refunded your app charge, it will be reflected on your account around 5 days, please kindly check your account again.
2. Throughout our conversation, your main problem as switcher (language selector) does not show on your store, the part of the reason that hinders for fixing it comes from the constant installation and uninstallation of our app, so it leads to the asynchronous data. Therefore, you should have a little patience and we surely resolve your case completely.
Once again, please accept our deepest apology and hope you can consider to reinstall our app and let us have a chance to support you with the highest priority. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Miranda
