Shopify Translate & Adapt is a Shopify app that helps you easily translate your store’s content for different markets. It ensures your store feels local and relevant to customers around the world, while also improving visibility and trust.
With Shopify Translate & Adapt, you will be able to:
Auto-translate your store into two languages for free.
Add and edit unlimited manual translations.
Adapt content for regional spelling, messaging, and cultural differences.
Localize directly from your theme editor or admin pages.
Boost SEO, increase traffic, and build trust with global customers.
Now, let’s go through how to integrate Shopify Translate & Adapt for the first time, how to manage newly added content later on, as well as how to disable the integration.
How to Enable Shopify Translate & Adapt for the First Time?
1. Make sure Shopify Translate & Adapt is already installed in your store and functioning well to enable the integration.
2. Go to the Integrations (1) section of the Shopney dashboard and select Shopify Translate & Adapt (2) as shown.
3. Click on Enable (1) to turn it on in the pop-up page. Then, click on Save Changes (2).
4. Once you Enable and Save the integration, you will see two new sections.
In the upper section, you will see the general information about the Default Languages, Published Language, and Unpublished Languages (1). This information is provided by Shopify itself.
In the lower section, you will see the button for the Mobile App Translation Manager (2). This is where you will manage the translation process of the mobile app content.
📌 Important Note
If you want to publish or unpublish a language, you will need to navigate to the Shopify Admin dashboard and arrange it there.
The translation of the content that is provided by your Shopify store, as products, collections, and pages, will be visible on the mobile app. Those are managed by Shopify Translate & Adapt itself. This integration doesn't automatically translate the entire mobile app content.
The content you create on the Shopney dashboard will need to be translated in the Mobile App Translation Manager section by yourself. Here are the types of content created on the Shopney dashboard:
Titles of Showcase Elements
Titles of Menu Elements
Titles of Quick Actions
Title of Enable Discount Message
Titles of Mobile Collections
Titles of Push Opt-In Message message
5. When you click on Mobile App Translation Manager, it will open another pop-up, in which you will put the translations for different languages.
By default, you will see all the words to be translated together in a list form (3). If you want to simplify it, you can use filters like Show Unpublished and Just Untranslated (1). You can also filter for the translation area, such as Showcase, Menu, and Others (2), which indicate where a specific word is used in your mobile app.
6. Once you click on a word from the list, it will expand and show you the blanks to fill for each language with translated words, as shown below.
7. Once you fill in the blanks with the translations of each word, you can click on the Done button on the top right and complete the process.
After completing all these steps, your Shopney mobile app will be integrated with the Shopify Translate & Adapt Integration.
Your customers will be able to change the app’s language from a switch located at the bottom of the menu, as in the example below;
Now, let’s take a look at how you can manage the translations of new content on the app.
How To Manage The Translation of Newly Added Content Easily?
If you add new content to your mobile app, it also needs to be translated. But you don't have to go back to the Shopify Translate & Adapt integration section to do so.
We made it easy for you!
You can add new content on Shopney's design dashboard and put the translations of the content while you are still in the Design section. All you need to do is click on the designated button next to the text area.
It will open the Mobile App Translation Manager, and you can easily put the translations in for the given word.
How To Disable Shopify Translate & Adapt?
If you need to disable the integration for any reason, you have two options, as shown below:
With Save & Clear Data, your translation data will be erased, and the integration will be disabled. If you later re-enable the integration, your previous translations will not be available.
If you choose Save Changes, your translation data will be saved, and the integration will be disabled. If you re-enable the integration in the future, your previous translations will still be there.
Please note that this integration was built with our partner, and while we do support it, in case any technical issue arises, the wait time might be a bit longer than for a regular support request. Thanks for your understanding!
