Hextom AI Translate & Currency

Absolutly don't take this app !!! I do translate (with IA) the website, everything where good, until they (WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION) rolled back completly the URL translation.

Our website is currently under 404 for all our market, and they absolutly don't care. We are currently taking legal action.

Incomprehensible, no direct support only via email, you pay for a program that tries to translate, and then they charge you a high credit. Disappointing

You buy credit and they will make them disappear and play dump for you to buy again , if you count what you pay for you will see the scam in this app

Pay for a plan and then not have the monthly limit until 1.5 month later , so you pay 1.5 -2 months worth of limits to get half what you pay for

Daily it will disconnect from the Website, keep sending to another URLs language, app plugin itself will stop working and shows error or not loading at all .. disaster that causing me to lose sales daily

In contact with Shopify to officially report the app , highly questionable

Update after 3 years:
I am so done with this app. Especially the "Manual Translation Part"
Prepare for "something wrong while saving the translation, please try again later"-errors all the time. I have no interest anymore in working with the app's support team, because next time I need to work with the app it's either the same error again or something new. Like always.

Also this app is very poorly translated. Which is especially sad because it's a translation app.

It's a wonderful app, that you can use for free if you are using the manual translation. I've used it to translate ten of thousands of words and it works mostly without problems. If something doesn't work, support is there to help you!

However, they released a big update in January 2023 which caused some parts of the app to not work correctly or at all for almost four weeks. It didn't affect translations that were already saved in shopify, but it prevented us from adding new translation in several cases.
After the update works correctly, I see that it includes really helpful functionalities, but I really wish they will be more careful in the future when implementing new stuff.

MESSED UP THE CODE

Update: when you purchase extra words, you don't get them. The app is not working properly, contacting support is only agitating.

App is working pretty good, works well with the Taiga theme. But the translate AI is horrible, 50% of lines is wrong and it randomly doesn't translate bits of text at all. It also translates identical lines totally different and is not consistent at all. You can't trust it to translate languages you don't know. They charge you alot for it, which in my eyes is not appropriate with the quality delivered.

Support is not existent and the actual service is poor! It took me a lot of time to translate our gempages landing pages only to find out that they are actually NOT translated. They visual translation app actually replaces the words from English to the other language in real time every time which caused HUGE delays in loading the page and customer is not seeing his native language. Instead he needs to wait around 20 seconds his page to be translated... Ridiculous

Tried to solve that with the support, but all they did was to say "this is how our app works" and stopped answering to my email. I tried to reach them 2 times for the last 2 days - no answer at all.

Do not bother. There is a lot of other BETTER apps

Update: Moved to T Lab Translator, they actually have the necessary functionality and RESPONSD to my inquiry

I had so many issues with this app
the app has so many bugs

Translation didnt work ai translation works one day and not the other day

Currency same issue

i do not recommend this app
We had the pro package
waste of time and money

We’ve been long-time users of several Hextom apps and have always appreciated the quality and reliability they bring to our business. Unfortunately, our experience with the Hextom: Translate and Currency app has been quite disappointing. On our larger site, the app has consistently failed to function as expected, and despite months of back-and-forth with the support and development teams, the issues remain unresolved.

Given the high standard we’ve come to expect from Hextom, it was surprising and frustrating to encounter such challenges with this particular app. We hope that the team can address these problems soon, as we would love to see this app live up to the standards of the other Hextom products we rely on.

I have been a seller for three years, and this is my first time writing a review, as well as my first time giving a negative one. I strongly suspect that this plugin's AI translation is overcharging. Today, I clearly had a quota of over 10,000 words remaining, but suddenly, I was informed that I exceeded the limit by several tens of thousands of words. The customer service representative claimed that it was the total usage from August 1st to August 24th. So, do you not have real-time tracking? Why did the word count suddenly increase by so much? Moreover, what is the point of your so-called limit? It doesn’t seem to impose any restrictions, so why did I exceed the limit by such a large amount? If I want to continue using your AI translation, I now have to pay extra to cover this so-called "instant overage." Isn't this forcing us to spend more? This is a very serious bug.
