FOX & WOLF review for LangShop AI Language Translate

1 / 5

April 2, 2026

We used LangShop for over a year on our luxury home fragrance store, and I can't recommend it for any business where translation accuracy and SEO actually matter. When we originally left a 1-star review, LangShop offered us 12 months free in exchange for changing it to 5 stars. We accepted, hoping the issues would be resolved over time. They weren't. A year later and the same fundamental problems remain, so here we are again. The core issue is reliability. The glossary feature — which should be the backbone of any translation app — doesn't work consistently. We set specific rules (for example, ensuring "scented candles" always translates to "velas aromáticas" in Spanish) and the app simply doesn't respect them. When we raised this with support, we were told to try a singular glossary entry to see if it catches the plural, or try the plural to see if it catches the singular — but you can't have both entries at the same time. So you're forced to choose between accurately translating "scented candle" or "scented candles," but not both. For any store with product titles, descriptions, and collections all using natural variations of the same terms, this is unworkable. The homepage is a particular problem. If you've added any custom code to your store's design — which most serious Shopify stores do — those elements won't translate through the standard process. You then have to configure dynamic text to cover them, which is additional setup and troubleshooting on top of what you've already paid for. There is always extra work to do. We've spent hundreds of euros on AI translation credits for translations that then don't render correctly on the live site. That's money wasted on a process the app should handle seamlessly. Customer support responds quickly, but the responses are clearly scripted — copy-pasted help articles rather than genuine troubleshooting. For straightforward queries that's fine, but when you have a persistent technical issue, being walked through the same help topics repeatedly doesn't resolve anything. After a full year, we are still not ranking for our target Spanish keywords, which was the entire reason we installed a translation app. We're now migrating to another provider. If you're running a simple store with no custom code and don't care about SEO precision or brand-specific terminology, LangShop may work for you. If translation accuracy is business-critical, look elsewhere.

Hello, FOX & WOLF team Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that LangShop did not meet your expectations. We want to acknowledge the points you raised regarding the glossary feature and translation of singular versus plural terms. The glossary detects exact spellings, including distinctions between singular and plural forms. The additional rule is necessary to ensure correct handling of these variations across different languages. We recognize that these issues can create workflow limitations, and we’re actively looking at ways to make glossary handling more flexible for nuanced language use. Regarding custom codes on your homepage, as content added via custom code is not pushed via the Shopify API, the dynamic text feature is the only way to translate such content. Dynamic text setup is designed to provide you control, but we understand that it adds extra steps and can be frustrating. Your feedback on this issue is valuable as we prioritize improvements. We’re glad to hear our support team responds quickly, but we’re sorry that our replies felt generic. Our team strives to respond promptly and offer useful guidance, but we recognize that ongoing technical difficulties require more comprehensive support. Please rest assured that our team takes every case seriously and genuinely works to troubleshoot and identify the root cause of each issue. Please allow me to clarify that the app doesn’t manage SEO; it’s managed by Shopify. The app only provides the functionality to translate it. In case you're facing the problem with SEO, we would advise reaching out to Shopify support. We’re grateful for the time and trust you invested over the past year. Your feedback will help us improve both product functionality and support. Thank you again for your honest review. It motivates us to improve LangShop for all merchants. Best regards, LangShop team
