Shopify's new translation app that will revolutionize your e-commerce
Anyone who has a Shopify store knows how painful it can be to prepare your store for international sales.
Currencies, shipping methods, payment methods... these are some of the difficulties you have to face in order to clear customs in a new market.
But first and foremost is the language; from theme translations, sections, apps, to checkout, translating e-commerce has always been a long, frustrating process, often resulting in mediocre results.
For this reason, we too have developed applications and technical solutions over time to better deal with the problem and not have to fall back on some malfunctioning and expensive app.
Today all this can become history.
Those who know us know very well how much we try to avoid using apps (for various reasons) but in some cases we turn a blind eye.
Shopify Translate & Adapt
We got early access to the translation app from the official Shopify Translate & Adapt team and we were very impressed!
We have already collaborated with the Shopify team in the past regarding the Admin API GraphQl for translations.
As soon as we opened the app we realized how effective it can be in managing the site's languages.
In its simplicity, the app allows you to translate all aspects of the store (except third-party apps) through a simple and intuitive graphic with rich-text editors.
We can summarize its strengths as follows:
- Free
- Simple to use
- Compatible with Shopify Markets
- Integrated (native) language management
- Machine Translation Support
- 2 automatic languages included
- Completeness of translation
Overall, we feel like this is going to be the killer app for translations. Of course, it will take some time for the Shopify team to get the app into its final form, but if this is the starting point, we are very confident!
