The Next Level of Shopify Translation

Transcy supports over 148 languages, including all major global languages and many regional ones. Language availability may vary depending on the translation method used. You can head to Transcy's Language List to see the supported languages.

When translating your Shopify store, there are two common approaches:

1. Client-side translation (in the visitor’s browser)
The page loads in its original language, and JavaScript translates the content in the visitor’s browser before it is displayed. This method is quick to set up and works well for real-time and dynamic content. However, because translations are applied at runtime, search engines may not reliably crawl or index the translated versions.

2. Server-side translation (before the page loads)
The page is translated on the server before it is delivered to the visitor. Translated pages can be edited and stored, making them accessible to search engines for crawling and indexing.

Key takeaway:
If search visibility is important to your business, server-side translation is generally the better choice. If speed of setup and real-time translation matter more, client-side translation can be a faster option.

Yes. You can edit translations for editable languages (server-side). For non-editable languages (client-side translations), editing isn’t possible because they are generated in real time when visitors land on your page.
Note: “Editable” and “non-editable” are terms used by Transcy to distinguish between server-side (editable) and client-side (non-editable) translations.

It depends. You don’t have to set up anything when translating with Google Translate.
As for other translation models, we support translating with either your API key or on a Pay-Per-Use (PPU) basis:
- API key: OpenAI, Gemini, DeepL
- Pay-per-use: OpenAI, Gemini, Baidu, Yandex, Grok, DeepSeek

Yes, you can. You can choose to translate different pages using different engines. For example, you can translate you homepage using DeepL, product pages using OpenAI, and more depending on your use cases.

If you’re using Shopify Checkout (Shopify Payments + Shopify Markets), all standard checkout content is supported. Transcy also covers dynamic text, notices, and buttons. However, certain third-party checkout apps or custom scripts may not be translatable, so the experience is best when using Shopify’s native checkout.

If you use Shopify Payments with multi-currency, the same converted price/currency carries into checkout (subject to rounding, market price rules, taxes, shipping, duties, and discounts).

Yes, if your language is editable, AI can auto-translate text on product images and promo banners. Or if you wish, you can assign different images for different markets (e.g. a 10% discount banner for US and $10 off banner for UK).
