The 5 Best Translation Apps for Shopify
Translating your Shopify store is no longer just an option; it’s necessary! If you ever want to reach a larger audience and be able to sell to customers all around the world, you have to make sure you speak their language. Shopify languages offers 20 different options for you to sell in. In order to start adding the languages you’d like to translate your store into, just go to the Settings on your Shopify store home page and click on Languages. There, you can see your shop’s languages and add more. Choose which language(s) you want to use and simply add them to your list if translated languages.
When you do that, however, Shopify will request that you either use a third-party translation app or import your translations. There are many translation app options for you to choose from. Here’s a list of the 5 best Shopify translation apps, ordered from least to most expensive based on their minimal subscription fee.
Which Shopify Translation App Should You Choose?
For most Shopify stores, langify is the best all-around choice, Shopify-exclusive, with full SEO support, and the most cost-effective pricing over time. If you need a non-Shopify solution, Weglot works across platforms but costs significantly more. For tight budgets, Translation Lab and ConveyThis both offer free plans with solid core features.

Finally, the LangShop subscription includes an import/export feature and 24-hour customer support with different communication channels.
