What Are the Best Translation Apps For Shopify in 2023?

Online stores today can get massive traffic and sales if they offer international shipping. But reaching international customers comes with several requirements. One of those is having a translated online store.

Those who have an independent website will have to work with freelancers and their developers or with an e-commerce translation agency to turn their store into a multilingual website.

On the other hand, store owners on platforms like Shopify get to enjoy a number of benefits like using apps, which range from easy ad-creation to shipping to translating their Shopify store.

To translate their stores on Shopify, business owners have to use a Shopify translation app from the Shopify app store. And like any field on the platform, there are dozens of Shopify translation apps.

In this article, we’re going to answer the question “What are the best translation apps for Shopify?” along with the benefits and pricing for each.

What are Shopify apps?

Shopify apps are applications that help online store owners make the most of their online store on Shopify.

There are apps that help store owners increase sales and conversions, manage online marketing campaigns, create checkout options, send emails, use local or international shipping among many other options.

Among those benefits is helping store owners offer Shopify store translations.

Some apps are entirely free, while the majority offer either a free plan or a free trial.
