Am I missing something? Why only allowed to translate 2 languages? While the app did a great job of translating the two languages I chose, it was disheartening to see so little variety.
Translate & Adapt allows for 2 auto translated languages. You can translate up to 20 languages manually (that's 18 languages more). There is a cost associated with letting merchants auto-translate and that is the reason why it is limited. We are looking options to pay for additional languages similarly to other translation apps in the Shopify ecosystem. Translate & Adapt is the only app that lets you auto translate whole 2 languages for free. We have seen merchants who want to auto translate more language and are using other apps or Translate & Adapt in addition to other apps.

The auto translate feature is incredibly simple and intuitive to use, however it has a hard cap on just 2 languages which doesn't make much sense to me. I was hoping to offer a few languages for my EU customers. I don't understand why there is such a limit in place to only support two languages, I would gladly pay like $10 to translate the rest of my site to add German and French support... it feels pretty unfair to only offer Spanish and Italian in my opinion, not a good look for my store.

It works well, but it does not translate the content that is generated via a Website Builder such as Gempages.Is there a workaround to this other than paying premium on third party apps ?
Translate & Adapt has access to 3rd party apps that store content inside Shopify and are integrated with the Translation API. If an app doesn't store it within Shopify the app can't access the data to translate. Shopify strongly recommends partners to integrate with the APIs because it means they can support new features that roll out which increase reliability, speed, security and features adoption. Translate & Adapt is working with Pagefly though, so you can maybe try that. Alternatively some merchants prefer to operate two language apps side by side, as some apps have the capability to translate content in the front end. We don't recommend that as translating in the front end means that some logic such as localization to a specific market may be broken. Still that is a way to make it work.

Good feature. Really hope that the team can implement "Glossary/Dictionary" to apply translation for key words.

I think the result of auto-translation is quite acceptable. But not having the option to select multiple or all products to translate at once is painful, especially when you have 100+ products to translate into more than 1 languages.. And also not sure what happens when a product description or any content is updated?
Hi there, thanks for trying out the app. Stores can be translated entirely in one go, and unedited auto-translations will update if the default content is updated. The Translate & Adapt Team

It's great but 2 languages is definitely not enough so I had to remove the app. When will the paid plan be available for more automatic languages?

Good, but it lacks some important features: 1. Export/import specific content for CSV/Excel: for example the possibility to export/import ONLY the products or ONLY the collections or ONLY specific metafields or ONLY the theme sections, etc. 2. Add "Name" or "Namespace and key" in the metafield export file (it is impossible to filter specific metafields if you do not name them in the spreadsheet) 3. Move translations between themes (Theme Sections and Theme Assets) 4. Apps text translations
Hi there, thanks so much for trying the app and your feedback. 1. From Settings > Languages you can export and import a CSV. You can delete any rows you don't want to upload, so you can import a resource type at a time. Export by resource is coming. 2. This is helpful feedback. It's a limitation from outside our app, but improved metafield support is under development. In the short term the CSV can be used to translate all instances of a phrase using your spreadsheet tool's find and replace. 3. This is an additional limitation outside the app but one we are looking at closely. Standard theme content such as checkout and system messages are included in all Shopify themes in supported languages. As themes can differ, migrating edited content between themes has challenges. The CSV can also be used to match content between themes. 4. Shopify Translate & Adapt translates content available via the Translations API, which for 3rd party apps means it saves to metafields or the theme. However some 3rd party apps can translate other 3rd party app content on the storefront using Javascript. These can be used alongside Translate & Adapt. Best wishes, Shopify Translate & Adapt team
