Tips before translating your Shopify store
Before diving into translating your Shopify store, it’s crucial to properly prepare for this step. This will help you avoid technical issues and optimize your chances of commercial success internationally.Check your Shopify plan compatibility
Multilingual translation is available on all Shopify plans except the Lite plan. You need to have subscribed to the Basic Shopify plan or higher to manage up to 20 languages from a single store. This technical limitation is important to know before planning your international expansion.
Plan your translation priorities
The more countries you target and the more products you have, the higher the cost and longer the project timeline. Define a priority order:- Phase 1: Essential pages (homepage, featured products, checkout process)
- Phase 2: Informational content and FAQ
- Phase 3: Blog and additional marketing content
Prepare your site’s technical structure
Multilingual URL management
When you publish a language, unique URLs are created for each translated page of your store. For example, if your main domain is example.com and you publish French (fr) and German (de), the URLs become example.com/fr and example.com/de.Automatic SEO configuration
Good news: Shopify automatically adds hreflang tags and includes all published languages in sitemaps, which helps search engines detect the different languages of the store.
Choose your translation method
Manual translation via Shopify

Several approaches are possible depending on your needs and budget: Automatic translation: Automatic translation reduces time quickly and provides accurate results, but requires careful proofreading. Hybrid approach: Mixing translation modes based on content importance can help you save time, translation costs, and gain flexibility. Localizing legal notice text may not have the same importance as translating a short SEO text.Anticipate post-translation management
Translated content maintenance

Once you’ve added and published a language, translated content appears on the checkout page and in all email notifications sent to your customers. Make sure your automated emails are also translated for a consistent customer experience.Test before publishing
Before making your languages public, in Unpublished languages, click on … > Publish next to the language you want to offer to your store customers.

What are the risks of translating my site?
While translating a Shopify store is often necessary to address an international audience, this process can involve certain risks that are important to consider.
First, poor translation can seriously harm user experience and brand image.
Vocabulary, grammar, or phrasing errors can make your product descriptions incomprehensible or inappropriate, thus frustrating foreign visitors.
This can lead to high bounce rates and undermine potential customers’ trust.
Moreover, partial or inconsistent translation across different pages of your Shopify store can create confusion.
Between product sheets, collections, information pages, and the ordering process, imperfect consistency can give an impression of lack of professionalism.
Another major challenge is managing updates in Shopify.
When you add new products, modify descriptions, or create new collections, all this content must be quickly translated to maintain synchronization between your language versions.
Without automation, this task quickly becomes unmanageable.
SEO impact also represents a significant risk. Approximate translations can harm your Shopify store’s natural referencing in foreign search engines, thus limiting your visibility and international growth potential.
Finally, the human and financial costs of translation are not to be neglected. Hiring professional translators for every new product, every collection update, or every content modification can quickly become expensive, especially for Shopify stores with large catalogs or frequent updates.
This is why Reversia was invented. To perfectly translate your Shopify store without any compromise on content quality.
How much does it cost?
It’s true that translating a Shopify store can represent a significant investment.
However, it’s a cost to consider as a strategic investment rather than a superfluous expense.
Poor translation, or worse, the absence of translation, can indeed cost much more in the long term in terms of lost customers, decreased brand awareness, and missed opportunities in new markets.
This is where the Reversia solution makes perfect sense.
Thanks to its automated approach and affordable rates, it allows you to equip yourself with a multilingual Shopify store at the best price.
The potential revenue gains in foreign markets can thus largely offset the initial investment.
Moreover, Reversia offers great flexibility, allowing you to progressively adjust the number of languages and volume of translated content according to your expansion strategy and results obtained.
This prevents you from launching overly ambitious and costly projects from the start.
Ultimately, translating your Shopify store should be considered as an essential growth lever, rather than just an expense.
