From customer service to the pricing everything was beyond terrible. I'm being charged for +70 usd although my plan is supposed to charge much less. I've uninstalled it, and it still charges me. I don't know how to stop this and there is no help.

Hi there, This is John and we personally apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience - Basically, one of my colleagues clearly explained why you got the app charge around +70 USD. For making it clear, you activated the monthly Growth plan as 29.9 and then you bought more product quota, it accounted for 43.9, so it's the main reason why you got the total app charge of 73.8. Also the agent guided how to cancel the quota but we still have not got your response - To stop the recurring charge, you just uninstall the app - We have seen that one of our colleagues is reaching out you via email, please check your email and let them know if you need further support Hope to hear from you soon Regards, John Transcy by OneCommerce

3 Monate SEO-Arbeit für uns ruiniert. Achtung: diese App setzt canonical Tags und dadurch wurden wir bei Google abgestraft. Richtig mies. Die App ist ansonsten auch etwas kompliziert aufgebaut. Sind leider nicht zufrieden.

Disappointing Experience with Transcy AI : I had a really frustrating experience with Transcy AI. The app was difficult to use and plagued with multiple bugs. I initially chose a plan to test it out, but due to all the issues, I ended up uninstalling it. After a month, I decided to give it another try and pick the plan that suited my needs, only to be told that I couldn’t have a free trial anymore. Even though I couldn't use it properly the first time because of the bugs, they insisted I pay upfront. They have all the data of my previous use, yet they expect you to pay for something you never really got to test. On top of that, their customer service takes a long time to respond. Honestly, for an app with such a reputation, this is far from professional. I cannot recommend Transcy AI due to their lack of flexibility, especially when it was their fault in the first place.

Use caution when using this app. Actually, no one should be using this app as it is SEO killer. The app does not comply with Google's SEO guidelines, which leads to google not indexing translated pages due to 302 Redirect. The team know the issue but apparently their response to the issue is that their app "focuses on the storefront". This is Bull*. If you want your store to be discoverable from Google, DO NOT USE THIS APP. Now this is for the redirection. When it comes to translations: 1. It is just an expensive version of the basic Shopify App using Google Translate. To use the AI version you need to pay even more. 2. It has a better user experience that the basic Shopify App, but still not in Sync with the already translated content. Content translated outside the App is considered Untranslated. Doesn't make sense. Only + from my experience using the App is their Support team. They are always very responsive and helpful despite the quality of their app. ----------------------------------------------- Edit of review on the 16th of September 2024 - In response to Transcy response. ----------------------------------------------- You mentioned that you tried to provide solution to resolve that. "However, we still have tried to provide the relevant solution to resolve that, meanwhile we seriously noted this feedback to improve our app" That's not true. What you asked me to do is to turn on the recommendation. When I asked you if that will work, your answer was that "It might mitigate the issue". You did not provide a clear and confident answer/solution. Even though you knew that it won't work (i suspect, considering all the other negative reviews), you still recommended me a not functional solution to my problem. That's worst than be straight from the beginning and then saying "We are not responsible for SEO, just the storefront". Regarding content untranslated outside the app, you can just create a status "Translated by Third Party" instead of "Untranslated". By having the status of Translated content as "Untranslated" you prompt user to translate already translated content and pay even more. That's questionable practice.

Hi Aris, This is Raymond from technical team leader of Transcy and on the behalf of my team, I personally apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience 1. Regarding to your SEO performance, please let me make it clear basically, we have the function as "auto switch language by location". In other words, your language along with URL will be automatically redirected based on location, so this function might be one of the main reasons leading to Google automatic redirection issue. As a result, one of my colleagues has recommended to use "Recommend pop-up" instead to avoid this issue. In fact, we have meet some similar cases and we still guided them to avoid this. Fortunately, they all works properly later on 2. As you suggest to change the status "Translated by Third Party" instead of "Untranslated", I have noted this point and will take it into consideration For further discussion via chat or email channel easily and hope you give us the last chance to support your case, I would like to send you a follow up email via your store email Hope to hear from you soon Regards, Raymond Transcy by OneCommerce

STAY AWAY. Pick an Actual Translator App that actually works! Completely broke my websites structure, and EFFECTIVELY DESTROYED MY STORE. I made a yearly subscription, and this shitty app with lazy dev just completed WRACKED my store. The app is totally, NOT useable. Every 1 Star Review You Read Here Is TRUE. I Met the EXACT SAME ISSUE PEOPLE REPORT 1 YEAR AGO, AND THEY NEVER FIX IT. This speaks volume about how shitty this app is, and they will NOT Fix it Whatever. Doubt any of the 5 Star review is true or faked.

Hi Jennie, This is Emma from Transcy 1. Regarding to your main concern as broken website structure and SEO performance because you mentioned that our app translated URL handles by default. For this point, I am wondering you misunderstood, please let me make it clear that our app is not translating URL handles by default, once you press the button "Translate", there's a pop-up showing to ask what elements you want to translate, please kindly check it again 2. The stuck translation issue, this is a known issue that we're aware of, and our development team is still trying to improve it. Also because your store has a large amount of data, it takes more time to translate. In this case, we're willing to assist in translating the entire store in all languages for you from our back end We have seen that one of our colleagues is reaching you via email, please kindly check your email and let him know if you need further support Regards, Emma Transcy by OneCommerce

The worst application, two days trying to make it work and nothing. Frustrating and unnecessary work. The cheaper apps are just as good, if not better, than what is offered here. Not satisfied at all, and I do not recommend it.

I don't get it. Your free plan says "1 Language, 1 Currency". I just installed and being told I have used up my language for the free plan. The 1 Language you are referring to is my primary store language. It doesn’t make sense to say 1 Language and you are referring to my primary language - so what am I looking for translation for? I feel frustrated

Hi there, This is David and we apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience - For the Free plan, it will allow you to have 1 target language & currency at maximum. It means that besides your store's default language English, you can add one more target language with our app to translate. Therefore, you may have some misunderstanding about the app pricing and feature here - Also in order to provide customer a quick look on how our app works with full features, we are happy to give you 7-day trial when you first install our app. So all new users could be free to test out all outstanding functions from Basic to Enterprise without being charged before going to the final decision to stay with us and use Transcy officially. - 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 Hope to hear from you soon Regards, David Transcy by OneCommerce

Have tried them with my store to translate in various languages. Surprisingly by using them my pages started getting de indexed by google. The reason mentioned by google was user defined canonical tag. We tried to contact them and they could not figure out the problem. They asked us to approach google. Later we had to uninstall them and now my pages are indexed by google. Use them with your own risk.

Hi Gaurav , This is Brian and we're deeply for any inconvenience causing to your experience - In relation to your main issue as your page was not indexed by Google. Please be advised that, our app specializes in showing translation on store font only, so whether the page is indexed or not on Google’s site, we’re not sure if it’s coming from our app, meanwhile we’re still investigating the root cause - However in your case, I have seen the page with its suffix /de (https://etravelsim.com/de/products/truthahn-esim), it means once you switch the page from default language to other language such as German on this case or your page is automatically redirected to German page based on the corresponding location, its URL page will be https://etravelsim.com/de/products/truthahn-esim, also this format page is based on Shopify format, please refer to this article for more details (https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/international/international-domains/setting-up-unique-urls/hreflang-tags) - As a temporary solution, please use this function “recommend” (https://i.imgur.com/Ne1fMPC.png) instead of auto switch language by location, this function means showing a recommendation popup of the location, language and currency, visitors are allowed to confirm and process to the correct - 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 Looking forward to hearing from you soon Regards, Brian Transcy by OneCommerce

We have been using the app for almost 1 year now. there were a lot of issues, I can say every 2 weeks there is a new issue, and you need to keep your eyes open all the time to check everything, All the previous issues we can accept, but the recent issue made the app completely useless and affected our customer experience very badly. The issue is when you go to the 2nd language suddenly the filters are not translating good, or dubbel translating and we have spent to solve this issue almost now the whole week from (Saturday) until now every dag 10 hours chatting to solve this issue also with assist from our team with no results. You get always standard answer we need 6-12 hour time to solve because it is midnight here etc…… come on this is not a cooperation with companies!!! And now the team is working on it for almost 2 months and whenever you reach out they will tell you we are working on it, despite this issue is very critical. Very bad, not recommend at all

The App is agreat idea, but it is pure pain to implement everything correctly. In the end it didnt work, it messed my my whole currency section, displayed ridiculous prices. nobody from the support could help me/ understand the problem. the support is prompt and really tries its best. They directly come in your shop and try to fix things, but that made everything worse in my case. Because its dealing with very sensitive topics like currencies and dislayed prices, which can only be realtime edited (formatting etc.) be very careful. I lost a lot of money and customers thanks to this app.

DANGEROUS APP, DO NOT INSTALL IT, IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR THEME CODING, THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN SAFE.. HERE ARE THE DETAILS: 1. After I downloaded the app, I request to their chat support to change the target language as will as the currency will change to BRAZIL|BRL. Because the target language set to ARABIC and I want to change it to BRAZIL. I ask assistance from them because I have no idea how to change it theres no option to change. But after I grant their collaborator as chat support ask me.. my theme was damage everytime I open on mobile version my website chat button keep opening without tapping on it. While before installing their app my website working smoothly.. 2. I said dangerous because as a store owner we don't have the ability to check perfectly on our HTML coding/theme without the help of developer.. we are just relying on the trust to them and after granting a collaborator request we don't know what they inject to our theme. knowing they have the access to theme html coding.. 3. If the app is reliable why some function of the website was damage after the installation. 4. There conversion rate is higher than google conversion.. In result your product price will show pricey to the customers.. compared to the default price currency. 5. I uninstall the app the now it's back to normal.

Hi Digoy, This is from Emma and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience causing to your experience In relation to your issues as following: 1. As you wanted to publish Portuguese, but unsuccessful and one of my colleagues has realized there was something wrong when doing it and asked them to wait for further investigation from Dev 2. For the main issue with the chat box on Mobile, for making it clear, although she had your access permission, she just accessed in app to check your language setting, she definitely did not touch anything on your theme, chat box as well as mobile code without your approval. Also she suggested by disabling the app temporarily to check whether it still existed or not. Finally, the root cause was probably coming from our app, however because of its urgent case and you uninstalled the app after that, so we have no chance to debug 3. As you mentioned about the conversation rate, we're depending on data from Google finance source, however our app is updating the rate daily at a certain time, not real time, so you may see there's a little bit fluctuation We have seen that one of our colleagues is following your case via email, he gave you clear explanation, please kindly check your email and let him know if you need further support Regards, Emma Transcy by OneCommerce

shitty customer service, I kept upgrading reaching 59$ per month and they didn't want to help with simple issues like having our theme to wrk with their switcher on the header. I also asked why should we pay 590$ per year just to enable DeepL translation integration which should not cost any extra just like google translation since the translation itself is not do by them. Shitty customer service and I do not recommend this app at all.

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

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?!
