Shopify Translate & Adapt review

Translate & Adapt is Shopify's own translation app, launched in August 2022, and it is free. It auto-translates up to 2 languages, or 8 in select countries, and lets you add as many manual translations as you want in a side-by-side editor. The adapt part is useful for stores selling to markets that share a language, for example changing spelling or seasonal messaging between the US and UK. You can localize from the theme editor or from any product or collection page in the admin, and 100+ languages are available. The limits show up as a store grows: auto-sync, which keeps translations current when content changes, only works in select countries, and the listing names no glossary, currency switcher or translation of third-party app text. Merchants rate it 4.4 from 1,381 reviews, the lowest score here, with 19% of ratings at 4 stars. It is the right first step before paying for any other app on this list.
