Shopify Translate & Adapt

Komischerweise springt meine Sprache, wenn ich auf meine Produkt klicke, automatisch von deutsch auf englisch, obwohl ich die Sprache nicht manuell geändert habe. Irgendwie kann da was nicht stimmen.

After spending 12 hours trying to resolve this with Shopify Support, I was ultimately told to translate the email manually.

The problem is that Translate & Adapt does not use the customized email template I created. Instead, it keeps pulling the original Shopify template. This is clearly a bug or, at the very least, a serious inconsistency in how the two systems work together.

There is absolutely no reason for Translate & Adapt to use an outdated/original template when the customized version is the one currently configured in Shopify. The support team should be fixing the underlying issue instead of asking customers to manually translate everything as a workaround.

Very frustrating experience, especially after spending 12 hours with support.

For some reason it auto translates only 2 languages. No obvious way to translate more. This is not mentioned anywhere, only when you reach the limit.

Ich wollte diese App wirklich mögen, leider ist die automatische Übersetzung für einen professionellen Shopify-Shop jedoch nicht zuverlässig genug.

Das grösste Problem ist, dass die App teilweise nicht den Originaltext übersetzt, sondern Inhalte eines völlig anderen Produkts einfügt. So wurde beispielsweise die Produktbeschreibung von „Drosera Tropfen“ automatisch durch einen Text über die „Heidelberger 7 Kräuter“ ersetzt – ein komplett anderes Produkt.

Das ist nicht einfach ein Übersetzungsfehler, sondern ein inhaltlich falscher Produkttext.

Dadurch muss ich jede einzelne automatische Übersetzung manuell kontrollieren, weil ich der Übersetzung nicht mehr vertrauen kann. Bei mehreren hundert Produkten bedeutet das einen enormen Zeitaufwand.

Zusätzlich entstehen dadurch erhebliche SEO-Probleme. Suchmaschinen wie Google können falsche oder thematisch unpassende Inhalte indexieren. Das kann die Qualität der Produktseiten verschlechtern, das Vertrauen der Nutzer beeinträchtigen und sich negativ auf die Sichtbarkeit in den jeweiligen Sprachversionen auswirken.

Eine automatische Übersetzung sollte den vorhandenen Originaltext korrekt übersetzen und keine Inhalte eines anderen Produkts einfügen.

Ich hoffe, Shopify verbessert die Qualität der Übersetzungen oder bietet künftig eine zuverlässigere Übersetzungs-Engine wie DeepL oder ein leistungsfähigeres KI-Modell an.

for the love of god, give us a tick box to stop unit conversions for measurements and actively stop translating things that have the appropriate tag no translation tags. EVERYTIME I trigger translate I'm riddled with Anxiety, that its going to mess things up AGAIN. It's so inconsistent, I never know if its going to be a 5 minute job, or 3 day job.

Of all the things that Shopify change, why is this so neglected? It triples our audience when it works.

When using "Auto-translate all" in Translate & Adapt, all manually edited translations are overwritten without any warning or confirmation dialog. There is no way to distinguish between auto-generated and manually corrected translations before running the bulk action.
This caused significant damage to my store: product descriptions were replaced with wrong content from duplicated products, and customers received mismatched product information.
Feature request: Please add a warning before bulk auto-translation that alerts merchants if manual translations exist and will be overwritten. A simple confirmation dialog ("X products have manual translations. These will be overwritten. Continue?") would prevent this issue entirely.

2 stars because I can only add 2 languages and pay a lot to Shopify fees on every order I sell and yearly fee and monthly fees. Crazy. The least they could do is help our conversions.

App is fine.
What we get as a user is basic features for free.
Wish the app allow unlimited number of languages rest everything is much better than third party app .

Translation from English to French is very approximative (Google Translate is really not the best!), plus a lot of punctuation and type case glitches make the app quite annoying. Another thing, when are you going to include translations for images alt text without having to upload new image files for each translation?

The app works fine in terms of translation quality and the interface is simple to use. However, there is a major and poorly explained limitation that makes it very frustrating in real-world use.

Shopify Translate & Adapt only allows automatic translation for two languages per store, and it counts any language that already has machine-translated content, even if that content was created using a different app.

In my case, Spanish was translated with another app and manually reviewed, but Translate & Adapt still counts it toward the limit. As a result, I cannot use this app to automatically translate a third language (French), even though I never used Shopify Translate for Spanish.

This is not a technical bug, but a product limitation that is not clearly communicated, and it can seriously disrupt your translation strategy if you have already invested time in another tool.

Use this app only if you are absolutely sure which two languages you want to support from day one. Migrating or combining apps later is much more restrictive than it appears.
