FOX & WOLF review for LangShop AI Language Translate
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.
