Looking for a translation module for your PrestaShop store? The PrestaShop Addons marketplace lists dozens of them, and they are far from equal.
We compared the three most installed translation modules with the Reversia app. For each one: what it actually translates, what it really costs, and the limits the product page never mentions.
- What each solution actually translates in your back office
- The full price: licence, subscription and the cost of translation APIs
- Compatibility with your third-party modules, your theme and your page builders
- What happens when you publish a new product
One thing to keep in mind before we start: a translation module and an application-level solution do not play in the same league. The comparison below shows it column by column.
PrestaShop translation modules compared
Here is a quick overview of the four solutions we kept: who they are for, their starting price, how they handle your third-party modules and what they do with new content. Detailed profiles follow.
| Solution | Best for | Starting price | Third-party modules and themes | New content |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Reversia | Stores where international is a real sales channel | $299 / month | Compatible, custom modules included | Translated automatically in 1 to 3 minSee the module |
 Traduire tout | Small stores with a simple catalogue | €279.99 excl. VAT | Partial compatibility | Manual re-run |
 Module de Traduction DeepL | Stores that already run a DeepL or Google account | €209.99 excl. VAT | Partial compatibility | Manual re-run |
 Ecommerce Copilot | Generating product descriptions more than translating | €10 excl. VAT / month | Partial compatibility | Manual re-run |
Note: the three module prices are the ones listed on PrestaShop Addons at the time of our test. They are one-off licences and exclude the cost of translation APIs, which stays on you. Always check the publisher's listing before buying.
Reversia: AI-powered PrestaShop translation
Reversia is not one more module in your /modules folder. It is an application-level solution dedicated to PrestaShop. It installs from your back office and translates your entire store with Claude, Anthropic's AI.
The difference fits in one sentence: where a module stops at the fields it knows, Reversia listens to your back office through PrestaShop hooks. A product created, a description edited, a new CMS block, and the translation follows within 1 to 3 minutes.
Reversia's strengths
- Translation by Anthropic's Claude AI, with the context of each product sheet and your brand's tone of voice
- Business glossary, brand prompt, exclusions and forced translations: your rules apply to the whole catalogue
- Full multilingual SEO: hreflang, URL slugs, metadata, alt text, internal linking
- Compatible with the PrestaShop Addons ecosystem and your custom modules, page builders included
- Compatible with PrestaShop 1.7 to 9.x, single-store and multistore alike
- Unlimited languages: the price does not move whether you open 2 or 20 markets
- New content detected and translated automatically, with no manual re-run
- Human support: personalised onboarding, ongoing follow-up, multilingual SEO audits

| Categories, attributes, features, brands | Yes | Yes |
| CMS pages and static blocks | Often partial | Yes |

|---|---|---|
| Pro | $299 | 750,000 words / month |

| Scale | $999 | 10,000,000 words / month |
| Enterprise | Custom | Beyond 10,000,000 words |
You pay by translated word volume, not by number of languages. Every feature is included on every plan.
Traduire tout
The most complete of the three modules. It translates store content, themes, emails and modules into more than 110 languages, through Google Translate, DeepL, Microsoft Translator or ChatGPT.
A sound choice for a small store with a simple catalogue that wants to test a first market without committing to a monthly subscription.
Traduire tout: the upsides
- More than 110 languages available, which widens the potential market considerably
- Works with several engines: Google Translate, DeepL, Microsoft Translator and ChatGPT
- Word exclusion, smart dictionary and find/replace to fine-tune translations
- Translations are written to the database and survive uninstalling the module
- Compatible with PrestaShop multistore
Traduire tout: the downsides
- Partial compatibility with third-party themes and modules, which can break page templates
- Bugs and crashes reported on bulk actions
- Complex initial setup, especially when configuring exceptions
- Module updates can disrupt the store
- Translation API costs come on top of the licence price
Traduire tout pricing
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Module licence | €279.99 excl. VAT, one-off payment |
| Translation API | On you, depending on the engine chosen |
| Updates and support | As per the publisher's policy |
Module de Traduction DeepL
This module plugs your store into the best-known translation engines and translates products, categories, emails and themes. It comes in a limited free version and a paid one.
Its main appeal is control: you pick exactly which items get translated and you define exceptions.
Module de Traduction DeepL: the upsides
- Automated translation, with no manual re-entry of content
- Fine-grained choice of what gets translated, plus exception handling
- Supports Google, Bing and DeepL, so you can trade quality against cost
- Content import/export, handy if an external provider proofreads your copy
Module de Traduction DeepL: the downsides
- Partial compatibility with third-party themes and modules
- Translation quality varies by engine, especially between free and paid tiers
- Complex initial setup for a non-technical user
- External service costs add up on large volumes
- Module updates can disrupt the store
Module de Traduction DeepL pricing
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Module licence | €209.99 excl. VAT, one-off payment |
| Translation API | On you: DeepL, Google or Bing |
| Free version | Available, with volume limits |
Ecommerce Copilot (GPT-4)
Ecommerce Copilot is first and foremost a content generation module: it writes your product descriptions, category copy and CMS pages with GPT-4. Translation is a secondary function.
Best kept for stores whose real problem is writing time, not opening a foreign market.
Ecommerce Copilot: the upsides
- Content generation with GPT-4, one of the most capable models available
- Pre-set prompts designed with search rankings in mind
- Prompt customisation and style control over the copy produced
- Versatile: product descriptions, categories, CMS pages
- You keep the final say on what gets published
Ecommerce Copilot: the downsides
- Partial compatibility with third-party themes and modules
- Translation remains a secondary function of the module
- Without enough customisation, generated copy lacks distinctiveness
- A human review is still needed before publishing
- Quality is uneven across languages
- Needs frequent updates to keep pace with GPT-4 and PrestaShop

| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Module subscription | €10 excl. VAT / month |
| OpenAI API | On you, based on usage |
The limits of PrestaShop translation modules
With PrestaShop the reflex is well known: a need, a module. For translation, that reflex has three consequences you only discover once the store is live.
1. A half-translated store
No module covers 100 % of a customised store today. You have adapted your theme and installed a dozen modules: translation modules do not handle those cases.
- Blocks generated by your third-party modules stay in the original language
- Page templates break when the module rewrites theme strings
- SEO metadata and URL slugs are often forgotten
- Image alt text almost always slips through
2. Page builders slip through the net
If you compose your pages with Creative Elements or another page builder, modules cannot detect the text stored inside them. Everything has to be redone by hand, which cancels out the time you were trying to save.
3. Support that cannot keep up
Marketplace modules are often maintained by a lone developer or a small team, with outsourced customer service. When something breaks, fixes take time and your store waits.
Our recommendation is simple: a PrestaShop translation module suits a small store testing a foreign market. If international is a real sales channel, you need an application-level solution.
Module or application: how to choose
The question is not the sticker price but the total cost: licence, translation APIs, the time spent patching untranslated areas, and the revenue lost on markets you serve badly. Here is how the two approaches compare.
| Criterion | Marketplace module | Reversia application |
|---|---|---|
| Scope translated | The standard PrestaShop fields | The whole back office, third-party modules included |
| Custom modules and themes | Partial compatibility | Compatible, page builders included |
| New content | Manual bulk re-run | Detected automatically in 1 to 3 min |
| Multilingual SEO | Partial or absent | Hreflang, slugs, metadata, alt text, internal linking |
| Tone of voice control | Replacement dictionary | Glossary, brand prompt, rules, exclusions |
| API costs | On you, on top | Included in the subscription |
| Number of languages | Unlimited, but configured one language at a time | Unlimited, at no extra cost |
| Support | Outsourced, variable turnaround | Dedicated team and human guidance |
A module is paid once and leaves you alone with the result. An application-level solution is paid monthly and takes on the whole chain, from the first import through to ranking in each market.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best translation module for PrestaShop?
Reversia tops our ranking: it is the only solution that translates the entire store, third-party modules and page builders included, with multilingual SEO handled end to end. Among marketplace modules, Traduire tout remains the most complete: more than 110 languages, multistore compatibility and translations kept in the database.
Does a PrestaShop translation module really translate the whole store?
No. Modules cover the standard PrestaShop fields but leave out content generated by third-party modules and page builders, and often SEO metadata and alt text too. The result is a partly translated store.
How much does it cost to translate a PrestaShop store?
A module costs between €10 excl. VAT per month and a €280 excl. VAT licence, plus the cost of translation APIs billed separately by DeepL, Google or OpenAI. Reversia starts at $299 per month, with APIs and unlimited languages included.
Is Reversia compatible with PrestaShop 1.7 and 9?
Yes. Reversia supports PrestaShop 1.7 through 9.x, single-store and multistore, and installs straight from your back office.
Do I pay more for each extra language?
With most solutions on the market, yes: every language added inflates the bill. With Reversia you pay by translated word volume. Going from 2 to 20 languages does not change the subscription price.
What happens to my translations if I stop?
Your translations are written into the PrestaShop database and you remain their owner. They stay in place on your store.
Translating your PrestaShop store without compromise
A module does the job on a small store. As soon as the catalogue grows, the theme is customised and search rankings matter, the untranslated pockets cost more than the subscription they were meant to avoid.
- The whole back office translated, third-party modules and page builders included
- Multilingual SEO handled end to end, with no extra plugin
- New content translated in 1 to 3 minutes, with no re-run
- A team that answers when something goes wrong
Reversia translates your entire PrestaShop store, keeps up with your new content on its own, and supports you market by market.
