Doris Wagner Cosmetics review for langify ‑ translate your store

Oct. 4, 2018

I used this app to translate my English SHOPIFY store into German and Italian, and was hoping to do so for Spanish and French as well. As we are based in the EU functioning multi-linguality is a must! First of all, this app DOES NOT TRANSLATE anything. It offers a split mode for you to enter the externally translated text opposite of the original text. You also have to do all formatings again, unless you choose to import the originally formatted text and work directly in that. I like the split screen mode. And the developers offer okay support. HOWEVER, the biggest drawbacks are so severe that they are business threathening: 1) the search function in SHOPIFY does not take into account any other language version than the basic shop language (i.e. English in my case) - foreing language texts are NON-SEARCHABLE by customers!!! 2) Langify is not compatible with SEO Manager and does not offer any input possibility for SEO-information Basically this means: a) You have to translate text yourself or outsource that b) Langify offers a split-screen input form only c) Nobody will find your foreign langauge website on Google d) Site visitors won't be able to search the foreign language content --> This is useless for real life business! We are searching for a better option now...
