Why Shopify teams switch from Transcy

AI translations that already sound like your brand

Set up your AI Translation Model with your own custom instructions and glossary rules, and Weglot uses them every time it translates your store, so the first version already sounds like you. You can also further improve translations that are already live with AI, so older product pages catch up without anyone rewriting them field by field.

Edit translations where you see them

Open the Visual Editor and you're looking at your actual store. Click the sentence you want to change, edit it in any language, and save. If a block should stay in English (a brand slogan, a size chart, a legal line), exclude it once and Weglot leaves it alone.

Multilingual SEO and GEO ready

Weglot and Transcy both follow multilingual SEO best practices on Shopify. But Transcy stops at your store, while Weglot also covers WordPress, Webflow, and other CMSs, so your blog and marketing pages can rank and get cited by AI engines in every language too, along with your store.

Change the original content, and every language updates

Available on all plans, Weglot detects new and edited content on your store and translates it with AI straight away. Update a discount from 20% to 15% in English and all your languages show 15%, so an old promo doesn't live on in your German store for months.

Multiple languages, 0 rounds of copy-paste

New products and edits are translated into every language you've added the moment Weglot detects them. Glossary entries and translation rules apply across all languages at once, so product names and brand terms stay right everywhere. When a page needs a human pass, invite teammates or order professional translation from the same dashboard.

Your edits stay where you put them

Every change you make to a translation saves automatically, so you won't lose work halfway through an edit. And there's no backlog of thousands of "outdated" items to work through, because Weglot retranslates changed content as soon as it detects it.

How do Weglot and Transcy compare?

Visual editing on your live store

Click any text on a live preview of your store and edit it in place; changes are automatically saved. Replace images with translated media.

Edits happen in the app's editor: pick a page or element, pick a language, edit, save.

Source changes update translations

Edited content in the original language is detected and retranslated in every language automatically.

Edited source content can be marked 'Outdated' until it's retranslated or marked as done. Automatic updates depend on plan and sync schedule.

Theme and app content

Detects and translates text from your theme and third-party apps, and you can edit those translations too.

Third-party app content is auto-translated, but manual editing is limited to a few integrated partner apps. Hard-coded theme text can't be edited in the app.

Brand-aware AI translation

Your own AI Translation Model, guided by your custom instructions and glossary rules.

AI translation, with brand and tech term rules capped by plan (20 to 500).

Built for SEO/GEO

Automatically adds hreflang tags, translates metadata, language specific subdirectories.

Common questions

What is the best Transcy alternative?

Weglot suits Shopify teams that edit translations often and want changes in their source language to carry through to every language automatically. You edit on a live preview of your store, and new or changed content is translated as soon as it's detected. Plus, benefit from on-brand translations after setting up your AI Translation Model.

When is Transcy the better choice?

Transcy can suit a Shopify-only store that wants translation and currency conversion bundled in one app. If you mainly need currency switching and rarely edit translations, it's a reasonable pick. If your team spends real time keeping translations accurate, Weglot is the easier day-to-day tool.

What happens to my translations when I update a product in the original language?

Weglot detects the change and translates the new text into every language you've added. Old text doesn't linger in your other languages, so discounts, prices in copy, and product details stay consistent.

Does Weglot handle multilingual SEO and GEO?

Weglot handles multilingual SEO automatically. Every translated page gets its own search-friendly URL, hreflang tags, translated metadata, and a sitemap that updates as you publish. All of this also makes your site more visible to LLMs, making you more visible in AI search.

Can I migrate from Transcy to Weglot?

Yes. Install the Weglot app, choose your languages, and Weglot detects and translates your store's content automatically. Our support team can help with the switch.

How long does it take to set up Weglot on Shopify?

Most stores are translated and live in a few minutes.
