After several months I need to adjust my review : Stay away as far as you can! - we have implemented the hreflang with them, which was not implemented correctly and has caused a SEO crash. On main keywords we dropped from Top1-5 to below 100. They ask us to deal with Shopify for it, declining any responsibility - they change features without telling you. Search function was already far from optimal, now they require to upgrade your account in order to search in an easy way for content - we had a big issue with product colors showing correctly. First time they solved it, two months later gone again. Their suggestion was to delete all variants and start over. I fixed the issue once I found the reason for it, somebody on their end must have changed the code. A simple "space" was the reason. This did cost me 7h of my time in total. - Suddenly former pictures from an older version appear on translated websites. Message from the help desk : After several months I need to adjust my review : To be honest, we still have many limitation in our techical knowledges and experiences on some difficult situations. Oh and I asked to remove an add-on. Response: you need to downgrade and upgrade again to remove add-ons. This would mean losing all manual translations!
Hi Etablissements, This is Hana and we personally apologize for those inconvenience causing to your experience In relation to your issues as following: - For hreflang as well we SEO. Firstly as hreflang, according to Shopify, Hreflang tags and meta tags are automatically created for every international domain or subfolder that you set up. Your sitemaps also include all published languages to help search engines detect the different languages on your store, for more details can be found here. In case you want to customize/edit it further, please contact Shopify for further support because it's out of scope and we're not allowed to touch or edit anything on it, we just support how to translate your SEO on other languages - For the search function, as one of my colleagues gave you a clear explanation, but we're deeply sorry if this information is being missed to notify you, we will take it into consideration about its notification so far - For the color variant, it's because of the translation conflict, for making it easy, once you edit the variant manually into different languages, Theme will not understand those manual translation and it leads to its broken format, because Theme will not support to show variants into multi-languages, it just support on default language. The best solution is to remove the manual translation of variants in app, but on store font is still being translated automatically by AI translation - "- Suddenly former pictures from an older version appear on translated websites" => we're waiting your collaborator request so that we can check the root cause and fix it soon - "Oh and I asked to remove an add-on. Response: you need to downgrade and upgrade again to remove add-ons. This would mean losing all manual translations!" => the best way is to downgrade to a lower plan and then upgrade to the Growth plan again, I make sure that your translation will not be affected anything. Once you downgrade, your target language will be unpublished, so you just publish it again when you upgrade - We have seen that one of our colleagues is reaching out you, please check your email and let him know if you need further support Regards, Hana Transcy by OneCommerce

The "attention required" flag is for apps that need technical attention. Transcy uses this alert to push sales, which is really shady and inappropriate.
Hi there, This is Brian and we're truly sorry for this inconvenience causing to your experience In relation to your concern about the app notification, actually in order to remind customer by completing the set-up step, once you click on it, it will not show again. Here, maybe there's a misunderstanding and made customer confused, so the notification has been removed for a long time, however it's still showing on some customers somehow We have seen that one of our colleagues is reaching out you, please let him know if you need further support Regards, Brian Transcy by OneCommerce

Had a very negative experience with Trancy lately. I paid a yearly fee at the beginning of 2024, but then one day all my translation are lost (meanwhile I was spending ads spending to attract people to the page only found out that the pages are not in their languages, so lost lot of money on ad spending and sales), afterwards I contacted Transcy and they said I was on FREE plan?! I double checked and they recognized that it´s their fault, I told them that as compensation they should either let me use the app for free or offer me a better plan with the current pricing, both got rejected and offered me a 10 used month refund (meanwhile I lost minimo 5K of sales?!). How can you trust an APP that is not stable and making this level of mistake and then with this bad customer support?!
Hi Meng, This is Fiona from Transcy and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience - For the main problem regarding to downgrade to Free plan and you're unable to use the annual basic plan, this is a bug from the app and we already fixed it for a few hours since you reported this problem. Hope you sympathize for us and we will never let this issue happen again - As an additional apology, we already processed to refund the annual basic plan, so I highly appreciate your empathy on this situation - We have seen that one of our colleagues is following your case, she gave you clear explanation on your case, please kindly check your email and let her know if you need further support.

Hi Marina, This is Donna and we're deeply sorry for any inconvenience causing to your experience In relation to an unexpected issue as the loss of your current translation from other translation app. Although we have tried our best to revert them, but unsuccessful. As a temporary solution, please contact that app to ask whether they could revert the translation Also we have seen that one of our colleagues is reaching out you via email by providing clear explanation along with possible solutions, please let her know if you need further support Regards, Donna Transcy by OneCommerce

Unfortunately, words are also automatically translated incorrectly, even though you have entered manual translations correctly directly in the Transcy app. On the shop website, you can see the correct translation for half a second, but then many words are overwritten by a kind of "auto-translation". "Digital Signage Player" (correct) becomes "4K SignageBox II" (incorrect). Transcy support refers to Shopify and Shopify support refers to Transcy. Not really usable.
Hi Manfred, This is Carter and we're truly sorry for this inconvenience causing to your experience In relation to your issues as following: 1. For the first issue that your manual translation overridden by AI translation, I have seen it's fixed, please kindly check it again. If it still persists with other products, just please let us know to check further 2. For this currency issue, "Transcy support refers to Shopify and Shopify support refers to Transcy", we're so sorry if our explanation was not clear. To be specific and further investigation, although we already removed the Transcy currency code, the price was not showing properly, it's because we have realized you're using the 3rd party app "Tiered Discount by AnnCode" for your currency, so I am wondering if the issue is resulted from this app, please help me to contact them for further support Also we have seen that one of our colleagues is reaching out you, please let him know if you need further support Regards, Carter Transcy by OneCommerce

I believed them but the package I had blew up by itself, it wasn't me who canceled it and I didn't realize it, because everything seemed to be working. I contacted them a few times and your agents did not tell me that the problems were related to the basic plan. And as luck would have it, the package I had was increased. I don't like the dishonest process, you no longer deserve the 5 stars I gave.

Just use another app This app is too difficult to set up There is the hassle of having to partially translate the product, and the app also does not work.
Hi Keunyoung , This is Brian from Transcy and we're truly sorry for any inconvenience causing to your experience In relation to your concerns as following: - Partially translated: it means section/page has been translated before, but there are some parts/elements in that section/page still have not been translated completely, or default content is already updated/changed recently so they need to be re-translated to update the new translation - For the other issues, we have seen that one of our colleagues is following your case, he gave you clear explanation as well as the relevant solutions for your case, please kindly check your email and let him know if you need further support Hope to hear from you soon Regards, Brian Transcy by OneCommerce

A very bad app, all full of bugs. It was greatly affected during Black Friday and suffered heavy losses.

I must urgently warn everyone against this app – it's a complete disaster. The experience is frustrating, especially when switching to the German language interface, as it forces you to manually reset settings for other languages. Despite shelling out 598 annually for their premium version, the app's deficiencies are painfully evident. The customer support is downright atrocious. I implore you all to steer clear of this app. It's an absolute waste of money and time, and an exercise in sheer disappointment
Hi Alexander, This is John and we would like to apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience We have not received any contact from you since October 25th, 2023. According to the previous conversation, here are some explanations for your concerns: 1. Your default language is German. Transcy has not changed anything on your default store. Could you please give us more information about the issue when switching to the German language? 2. After adding another language as your target language, you will need to translate it via Transcy. We provide a quick action to Translate by AI, then you can modify the translation to be more professional. 3. On the previous conversation, our support team guided you to sync the content and re-translate them, if you had changed the default content. Because we did not changed your manual translation without your permission, so this action was needed. However, I could see that our agent was not giving you the work-around solution to translate the store automatically without managing and storing the translation in-app (and Shopify). At the moment, one of our colleagues is following your case via our support ticket, please allow her to continue the conversation there. Regards, John Transcy by OneCommerce

Disappointing.. The app has several issues: 1) Glossary automatically and adds tags between the words that are in the rule. For both excluding rules and including rules. This causes either these tags showing up in the frontend or that there is no space between the words. 2) Besides that the Glossary is buggy, there is no option to upload a glossary file - this makes it quite useless - imagine adding 100s of rules manually 3) The translation itself is quite poor and doesn't really differs from any other much cheaper translation apps - the same mistakes are made. At least it's not to use for our specific terms in cycling. The bicycle parts are translated terribly. Also the brands are translated. 4) The cost of the app is not reflecting the quality of what you get - it is slow, it is buggy and it is not any better than apps that cost 10% of what this one is asking... Sorry but not a good app.
Hi Alexander, This is Kaity and we would like to apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience In relation to your concerns as following: 1. For Glossary rule and the Transcy is showing on your store, I have noted this point and are trying to find the relevant solutions to resolve it completely 2. The option is to upload Glossary rule by file, unfortunately we have not yet supported this function yet, however I have seriously noted this point and will take it into consideration 3. For the quality of AI translation, we are using an AI Translation System including Google, so sometimes quality will not meet customer's expectation due to specific language/context/situation/business industry. However, we guarantee that the system is being upgraded frequently, and the quality keeps improving when time goes. Also due to the limitation of AI system, we provide Edit translation feature in case customer can modify target translation if any mistakes are made by AI, so I highly appreciate your empathy on this situation We have seen that one of our colleagues is following your case, please let him know if you need further support Regards, Kaity Transcy by OneCommerce

I am so unsatisfied with that app it's unbelievable! Bugs everywhere, not syncing and and and. I am not getting how 5000 people gave 5 stars when it should be 0. I am already searching for an alternative because that app is horrible! There is literally a bug everywhere! There is no AI behind it because the translations to German is worse than a 3 year old kid could do it. I've contacted the support now 100 times the last year and the bugs showing up again and again. There is always a
Hi Jan, This is Adela from Transcy and we're truly sorry for any inconvenience causing to your experience - In relation to AI translation, it's a known issue that we are using an AI Translation System including Google, so sometimes quality will not meet customer's expectation due to specific language/context/situation/business industry.

this is absolutely a waste of time and money, the app is unable to translate our products by bulk, even though we committed to pay the most expensive plan

the machine translation is not correct, there is no response from customer services , app slower down speed , hard to use
Hi there, This is Henry and we would like to apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience In relation to your concerns as following: 1. For the machine translation, it's a known issue that we are using an AI Translation System including Google, so sometimes quality will not meet customer's expectation due to specific language/context/situation/business industry. However, we guarantee that the system is being upgraded frequently, and the quality keeps improving when time goes 2. As we have seen one of our colleagues has replied to your question for a few minutes and sent follow-up emails two times, even if we have realized you read email, but you might miss our emails, please kindly recheck your email box 3. For the loading speed, generally the more third parties you install, the lower speed your page is, so when you installed our app which also needs code inserting on your theme to work , so it's inevitable to make your page speed lower. Here, we follow Shopify's regulations on store page speed to minimize the impact on users' store. However, to operate an app, it will somewhat affect the speed but not significantly We have seen that one of our colleagues is following your case, please let him know if you need further support Regards, Henry Transcy by OneCommerce

This app is great, when it does what it is supposed to. EVERY WEEK I have to contact customer support as the app. The issue is the same every week. I am in the UK, and it automatically changes the currency to a random foreign currency instead of keeping GBP. I don't use any VPNs or things like that. I send them images, videos etc. They go away for a few hours and come back saying there is no issue and to clear my cookies. This is unacceptable as my customers will be experiencing the same issues. The customer support is horrible. PLEASE SORT IT OUT!! This app has such potential.

Terrible app, reviews are most likely fudged. I don't know what I could do wrong, I did everything according to the instructions which I reviewed 10 times, support helped me, but still problems remained. If you make a small change/add a product - sit in the settings for hours (considering that support helps you). Currencies, languages - there are always problems with everything. I don't recommend this app if you care about your nerves.

This is a really honest review from this AWFUL APP. I wish I read the reviews before I BOUGHT THEIR SERVICE. THE WORST PART IS THAT THE 5 STARTS REVIEWS ARE FAKE, AS THEY ASK AND PRESSURE PEOPLE TO WRITE THEIR REVIEWS RIGHT AWAY AFTER PURCHASING. THEY ALSO HIRE PEOPLE TO LEAVE GOOD REVIEWS: They are unprofessional their translation is the worst. It changes and sync and does whatever it wants and all your hard-working translations get undone. You have to keep asking them to amend the translation as it gets untranslated. Their customer service does not even know how to use the app themselves. They sometimes take ages to reply or keep passing the request to one another. Please, make sure your head the reviews before purchasing with them. It is not worth anybody's money or time. They have increased their prices massively lately... apparently to give a better experience. LET ME TELL YOU IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE.... READ ALL REVIEWS BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER. IT IS THE WORST APP ON SHOPIFY. THEY WILL MISLEAD YOU TO THINK IT IS YOU THAT IS MAKING THE CHANGES AND GASLIGHT YOU. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. I HAVE PHOTOS/SCREENSHOTS OF HOW THEY ARE UNTRANSLATING OUR WEBSITE. AWFUL AND VERY DRAINGING EXPERIENCE.
Hi Bento, This is Patrick and we would like to apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience In relation to your concerns as following: 1. For the good as well as no good reviews, each review is actually real and complied with Shopify's rules. For the reviews considered as bad, we will take it into consideration and improve it in the right way 2. Regarding to your main issue of translation , we're still investigating on it, meanwhile our team has tried to do the needful by supporting your case with the highest priority. Besides that, we were willing to refund one monthly charge as a sincerely apologies We have seen that one of our colleagues is following your case, please let him know if you need further support Regards, Patrick Transcy by OneCommerce

I really wish I could have read all these 1 star review before I made the purchase and I suggest you all do it pls, because all those 5 stars are probably fake from my experience: 1. The function itself did not work & they are making misleading claim and obvious violation of advertising law - THEY’RE GOOD AT MAKING MISLEADING CLAIM BUT A JOKE IN PRODUCT DESIGH: I was using their growth plan and according to the scheme, I am eligible to use the advanced language feature & auto detect & translate features. However, to use advanced language I have to set up sub folders in Shopify Market and doing so would disable the auto detect & translate feature. It’s really ridiculous to develop two features that clash with each other but to advertise publicly is so low even for them. - CANNOT TRANSLATE CHECKOUT PAGE: before making the payment, they promised they could achieve auto translate checkout steps. But the reality is if your customers check out with shopify pay, which most of the customers would, the page did not get translated - SLOW DOWN YOUR PAGE SPEED: my page speed drop from 89 to 83 after installing this app 2. The product experience is trash: - THIS IS NOT THE PLUG IN & GO APP YOU EXPECT: the setup is really confusing and cannot find a detailed step by step guide to explain how it works and how to set up. - POOR USER EXPERIENCE: the interface is also trash and not self-explanatory. I had to keep jumping back and forth to get just 1 setup done. 3. The only thing their customer support did was passively responding, lying or trying to passing the buck - EXTREMELY SLOW IN RESPOND: it took ages for the support to answer just a Yes or No question - ATTEMPT TO CLOSE MY CASE WITH LIES: I reached out to support on how to set up because this dump app make it extremely confusing. Probably trying to close the case asap, the support guy Bo lied and did not reveal all the steps needed to me at at the first place. He only told the truth after I confirmed with him several times - ALWAYS TRYING TO PASS THE BUCK: this app is a collection of bugs but every time I asked them to solve them, they were like ‘oh, shopify own the code, you should go ask shopify to deal with it’. Come on, I am paying you guys to do the auto translate, not shopify! If there is some technical problems between you and shopify, it should be you to reach shopify and get it fixed, not your customers! ------------ Regarding the misleading reply from Trancy: 1. Their support agent Bo, explained in details that setup sub folder on shopify would disable their geolocation app which is required by their auto language detect & translate features. But turn off sub folder would disable advanced language 2. if you cannot translate the checkout step, no matter the reason, you should not advertise and promise auto translate of checkout page 3. I already have more than 10 apps installed and my page speed score was 89 before installing this stupid app. But after installing this app, it was down to 83. This dump app alone slow me down by 6! And you told me it's normal? The biggest problem with this app is these dishonest guys denied every issues, blame their bug to shopify and tried to build a business on lies
Hi Guancheng, This is Stephen and we're deeply sorry for your unexpected experience with our app In relation to your concerns as following: 1. For the first point " to use advanced language I have to set up sub folders in Shopify Market and doing so would disable the auto detect & translate feature" => for making it clear, it might be an misunderstanding information, regardless of setting subfolder or not from Shopify, you still use advanced language on on both subfolder and primary domain normally and there is no impact on auto detect and translate feature. - Besides that, auto switch language will work on both primary as well subfolder domain, however if you use subfolder, you need to enable location recommendation on switcher setting - Here, for your case, because you asked that why you did not see other markets to assign language in our app, so to assign language depending on other markets, you should set subfolder on Shopify 2. "unable to translate checkout page": as one of my colleagues as Teresa has explained about why the checkout page coming from the button "Shop pay" was not translated, it's because the page is set a hard code in English, it means it just worked in English, did not support directing to multi-language even if we proactively contacted Shopify about this issue and they also clearly confirmed it's their limitation 3. "SLOW DOWN YOUR PAGE SPEED: my page speed drop from 89 to 83 after installing this app", generally the more third parties you install, the lower speed your page is, so when you installed our app which also needs code inserting on your theme to work , so it's inevitable to make your page speed lower. Here, we follow Shopify's regulations on store page speed to minimize the impact on users' store. However, to operate an app, it will somewhat affect the speed but not significantly 4. Overall, based on the negative effects brining your experience, we have seriously noted those points and will take it into consideration to improve in the better way. Nothing is flawless and we're trying to improve our app day by day. Besides that, for unexpected support from our agents, we will recheck their work carefully and have a proper training for them in order to avoid it in the future. Also please believe me that single conversation does not reflect the whole support and product quality we have built for years, so we highly appreciate your empathy on this situation We have seen that one of our colleagues is reaching out you with clear explanations, please kindly check your email and let him know if you need further support Regards, Stephen Transcy by OneCommerce

Absolute worst app we ever tried in 4 years. We tried to have this app working for soon 6 months and here are a list of things you should know before downloading it: - You will have to update EVERY single place manually on the website in ALL your languages. No matter if you update a landing page picture or just a single word you will MANUALLY have to sync ALL your languages. - Editing is a PAIN - you have to click back and fourth in all the tabs and if you have 11 pages for just one section is will take you back to page 1 every single time. Known error by Transcy but not fixed. - Support is really not at all what the positive reviews describe. Support says they fixed an error and then it is fixed but the next day it is back again. Can not recommend at all and request a refund for our 6 months of lost time on this app
Hi Frida, This is Vivian and we're deeply sorry for this unexpected situation causing to your experience In relation to your concerns as following: 1.

"Editing is a PAIN - you have to click back and fourth in all the tabs and if you have 11 pages for just one section is will take you back to page 1 every single time. Known error by Transcy but not fixed", unfortunately it's the limitation from our app and our Dev team has been aware of it and try to improve it soon in the next releases 3. As an additional apology, we already refunded three last billings. We have seen that one of our colleagues is following your case, he gave you a clear explanation, please kindly check your email and let him know if you need further support.
