Weglot + Shopify integration

What Weglot is

Weglot is a translation service. On Shopify it machine-translates the store, lets your team edit the translations, and serves each language on its own URLs with hreflang tags for search engines.

How we would approach Weglot with Shopify

The one decision to get right first is the URL structure: language subfolders or subdomains. Changing it later means re-translating and redirecting. We choose with you, connect Weglot to your Shopify markets and languages, have a person review key pages, and check every language through checkout.

What the work involves

• URL structure chosen before launch
• Machine translation reviewed on product, cart and policy pages
• Hreflang and translated metadata checked
• Every language tested through checkout and emails

Ways to connect Weglot and Shopify

• Existing app

  Weglot ‑ Translate Your Store

  Weglot's Shopify app, with automatic translation, an editor for your team, hreflang and translated metadata.

• Built in

  Shopify Translate & Adapt

  Shopify's own translation app, worth comparing for standard content.

Where these projects go wrong

• Switching from subdomains to subfolders after launch without redirects, causing 404s and lost rankings.
• Machine-translated legal and size information published unreviewed.
• Theme strings or app content left untranslated.

Questions

Weglot or Langify?

Both translate Shopify stores. Weglot is a hosted service that also works on other sites; Langify is Shopify-only. Pick by your other sites and editing workflow.

Before we scope the work

• Which data or customer journey needs to connect, and which system owns it?
• What access, plan features or API permissions are available?
• Does an existing connector cover the requirement, including failures and updates?
• Who will maintain the connection, and how will you know it is working?
