In the past few years, multilingualism and translation were a major lack of Shopify. Merchants who sell in multiple markets or Quebec merchants who need to present content in multiple languages are in for a treat with the latest new features announced by Shopify. In August 2022, Shopify officially launched the Shopify Translate & Adapt application. This new feature is a major game changer for online store administrators. This means that using third-party apps like Languify or Weglot will no longer be the only option for merchants who market in multiple languages.
Since the launch of Shopify Markets in 2021, over 175,000 merchants have already used it to improve their internationalization strategy.
