We recommend Langify as our preferred translation app provider for Shopify merchants for it's accuracy, features, benefits and great customer service. If you don’t have the budget, time or skill to do this yourself (or with our help), use of a trusted translation app plug-in can provide a good value alternative.Ī word of warning - Never, ever rely solely on a machine translation tool like Google to translate your store without having it proofed thoroughly by a native translator –a poorly translated site it is more likely to switch off potential overseas customers than not translating at all! Google translate is a bad option as it can't take into account the context or customize to your specific business needs, often leading to inaccurate and sometimes embarrassing results. If you want overseas online shoppers to convert, you need to translate and localise your whole store content accurately to earn their trust enough to make that sale, and build brand loyalty.ĭepending on the size and complexity of your store, translating and localising your content can be expensive and time consuming. Only a native speaker can use their cultural knowledge and language skills to add or remove any nuances to your copy to make it sound more authentic to the local customer, making your content more authentic and trustworthy.
We would always recommend using a specialist native speaker translator to internationalise your store in order to maximise your efforts in the local target market. Professional translator or Machine translation - which is best? Around 90% of FIGs speakers prefer content in their own language. Indeed, translating your site into the FIGS languages (French, Italian, German and Spanish) is important for anyone wishing to expand into mainland Europe. For countries such as Saudi Arabia and Romania whereby English is synonymous with quality, you can never fully engage your foreign speaking target markets without localising content.
