Shopify Translate & Adapt

I don't know I am using it wrong, but a lot of the translation on the websites is wrong and I can't seem to edit any of that. I can only edit the menu, and meta data. but not the actual content on the webpages?

The app is great but there are two key features that are missing at the moment:

-Localizing product images
-Integration with review apps like Loox

The app only translates 2 languages and you have no option to have more. Google translate is a basic translator, so you get a lot of mistakes. You need to check everything and change it manually.

I ended up with 'rug' (physical bodypart back in Dutch) instead of going back to the next page :D
Also in French 'outlet' was changed in 'way out' as Sortie :D among dozens of other translations that went wrong.

good to use

man sollte eine Banner funktion einfügen, sodass man direkt beim betreten der Website die sprache auswählen kann.

Bien mais manque de langue gratuite

It seems to use google translate which created odd translations. I am selling clothes and it would consistently change "flat" to "apartment" in other languages. Obviously that is not what I meant. So it works but still needs a lot of double checking.
Sadly you can primarily choose to translate everything, which , when I tested it, changed all my manual adjustments. The support team tried to help in this matter, and confirmed that this is not the usual, but I did have issues with needing to retranslate things.
However a fix around was deleting fields to a blank in the translation and that no longer got translated. But it was not the greatest solution for me.

Since the google translation didnt work great for me, i ended up making a lot manual and after a while gave up. I am sure if you have easier content, easier understandable for google, it might be useful. Also the support is great proactive in trying to help.

Add-on: because of those difficulties, I disabled now the translate app. But now the entire page reflects in that weird translated german even though my default language is English! I reached out to the support and they explained that when you use any translation app, that your translation gets saved in your shopify store. So my only fix was talking to shopify who helped me to take it down again (however, this took 2 days until it was fixed. Not great when the language is so wrong translated)

Seems to work really well. Started using this one as others failed to satisfy. We may have to use something else though as Shopify doesn't seem to be too bothered about letting us auto-translate more languages. After one year of it being launched, we are still limited to just two languages. Also doesn't seem to show any country flag in the drop-down selection. Disappointing.

It is good, but why only two language automatic translations? We can even pay to have more languages!

Translated products will feed into Google Merchant Center even if the language has not been published. So be careful when installing this app on your store as it can mess up your integration with Google Merchant Center severely while you work on the translations.
