Endurance kollective review for Transcy: AI Language Translate
I’ve had a disastrous experience with Transcy. What was supposed to be a simple translation solution turned into a massive technical debt for my Shopify store. The main issues we faced: Hreflang Conflicts: The app generated hundreds of "743 Hreflang Conflicts," confusing Google by trying to host multiple languages on the same URL without proper subfolder mapping. Orphaned "Ghost Code": Even after deactivating the switcher, the app left behind messily injected tags and "markup junk" that required manual coding to remove. 404 Errors & Broken Links: We’ve been plagued with 4xx client errors and broken collections paths directly linked to how the app handles language routing. No Cleanup Tool: Unlike other professional apps, there is no accessible "Clean up markup" or "Remove theme code" feature. Once you stop using it, you’re left with a broken theme that you have to fix yourself. Incompatibility: It fights with native Shopify Markets settings rather than working with them, leading to duplicate pages and conflicting SEO signals. If you don't want to spend hours in your theme.liquid fixing 404s and cleaning up redundant code, stay away from this app.
