II. The disadvantages of modules

To develop your PrestaShop store internationally, we are often tempted to use a module. This is the classic reflex with PrestaShop: a need = a module.
Unfortunately, there is currently no module that can be 100% compatible with your store.
Indeed, you have probably customized your theme and installed several modules. Translation modules don’t handle this type of case. You will therefore end up with a partially translated store and broken page templates.
For example, if you use Elementor for designing your pages. Well, modules won’t be able to detect texts inside it. So you’ll have to do everything manually. This is a huge waste of time.
Finally, PrestaShop translation modules, although useful, are often limited by their technical support and maintenance. Moreover, customer service is often outsourced abroad and you will find yourself on your own.
In case of problems, updates and fixes can take time, thus disrupting your activity.
We recommend using a translation module for people with a small PrestaShop store who would like to test their business abroad.
If translating your PrestaShop is a real challenge for your business, then we recommend using our Reversia solution.
