Shopify Translate & Adapt

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.

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!

It is a great app, but It would be greater if you could translate more then just 2 languages.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is a great app, but It would be great if you could translate more then just 2 languages.

wonderful app. they make my business easy. keep it up you did fabulous job. Love from ALiFTAR.com

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...
