Shopify Translate & Adapt

Translating Shopify into German was quite tedious, as I had to manually translate 150 checkout pages, each containing 20-30 lines. It took about 3-4 minutes per page to ensure everything was correct.

In the end, everything is now clean and well-structured. Replacing images also works perfectly. However, I read a comment from three weeks ago where someone mentioned that their settings were completely erased.

To be safe, I exported my translations and hope the same doesn’t happen to me.

This is a gamechanger for internationalisation. Only the metaobjects could have been included from the start, one has to manually "auto-translate" each object. Or is there another method?

Really good. But there could be content requiring translation which is missing from the translation table. But it's not common.

Yes I would recommend it. In the beginning it took some searching to find out what you do or don't offer, but later you will see and appreciate that you can also translate yourself.

The app is good and easy to use, but it does not automaticly redirect to the language in the country the visitor is based...

So far it's very easy and works great! But many of our customers speak Haitian Creole, and it is not available. There's also not an option to just add your own language and do things manually, which I would be willing to do. Hopefully I can make that happen for all our Haitian customers (aka most of our customers!!)

Simple, straightforward, and easy to use.

The translations are quite OK considering it's free. However I'm facing an annoying problem - the app is using some old content from my first app installation a few months back. I had started translating but deinstalled the app as I didn't need it anymore. Last week I reinstalled it and I can see that the app used some of my old content. I cannot understand how it happened, but somehow the content has not been updated during the automatic translation of my shop. In consequence, the text is not properly translated. There's also no option to translate text on the main page. I'm translating from French to German - as I'm fluent in both, I can see that there are many mistakes which makes it look very unprofessional. I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how to reach the support team.

EDIT - Rich from the support team reached out to me 1-2 days after I submitted my review and provided concise explanations and the needed solutions for the issues I had been facing. I realized that I had overlooked the feature for editing the homepage directly in Translate&Adapt which I apology for. As I wrote before, the translations are good and the app is simple and straightforward to use (unless you overlook a feature like I did). The only negative point and the reason why I'm giving it 4* is because the app only allows you to translate the content into two languages although I assume most store owners would need to have their pages translated into at least 3 languages if they are active in or want to expand internationally. Hope that in the future a paid plan will be offered. I'd definitely pay for one or two more automatic translations. Other than that, I'm quite happy with the app as it perfectly fits my needs for now.

I love it so far but I really would love a feature that makes product titles not translated automatically. In Arab countries we sometimes prefer english product titles or at least in my country especially because the product titles are not really important in a clothes store. so to not get my product titles automatically translated I'm copy pasting all the english titles in the Arabic titles fields which is kinda annoying.

It was almost perfect, but that's okay, maybe I didn't describe something very well, thanks for the automation:)
