What are the differences between Translation model?
In this article, we'll explain the differences between the two translation models: Advanced and Standard.Choose Standard mode if you need to quickly launch a language with automatic translations, minimal vocabulary usage, and little manual editing.Choose Advanced mode if SEO and translation accuracy are important to you. It offers higher translation accuracy and full control over editing the translated content.The core difference between the two translation modes lies in translation accuracy, the level of editing flexibility, and the vocabulary consumption.Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the pros and cons of each translation type: Advanced Mode:Pros:Higher accuracy – Translations are powered by our AI engine, leading to more precise results.Editable translations – After translation, you can view and manually correct the translations in the details page. Fast page display and SEO benefits – Since translations are processed on the backend through Shopify Translate API, they display quickly on the page and are more beneficial for SEO. Cons:Vocabulary consumption – The word count on your website will determine how much vocabulary is consumed. 2. Manual updates needed –If default content is updated, you’ll need to enable automatic translation updates to update translations automatically. If automatic updates are not enabled, you’ll need to manually update the translations in Langwill. Standard Mode:Pros:Low cost – Minimal vocabulary usage, making it a cost-effective choice.Automatic updates – Content is automatically scanned and translated, and it gets updated without needing manual intervention (manual translations require automatic updates to be enabled or need to be updated manually).Third-party app translation support – Can automatically translate almost all content from third-party apps. Cons:Slower initial load – Since the translation is processed on the frontend, the first translation load may take a bit longer.Accuracy similar to Google Translate – Translations are not as precise as Advanced mode.Limited editing options – You can’t fully edit translations in this mode. To correct translations, you need to click “Click” to input your own translation or use the translation button on the right side (which consumes word credit). Of course, you can also switch translation types if your requirements change.

How to Boost Multilingual SEO for Shopify store in 2025?
In this article, you'll learn how Langwill manages your Shopify store's SEO to ensure that Google indexes your website's language versions. Multilingual SEO is essential for attracting international traffic and improving your site's search engine rankings across different languages. Here are the key steps you should take to optimize your multilingual SEO with Langwill.1. Translate Meta Title and Meta DescriptionWhy It's Important to Optimize Them:Meta titles and descriptions play a key role in SEO. They appear in Google search results and influence whether users click on your site. By optimizing these elements for each language version, it will help search engines better understand and index your pages while also directly impacting your store's visibility.Meta Title: It appears as the clickable headline in search results.Meta Description: This is the snippet of text below the title that provides a preview of the page content.Best Practices for Meta Tags:Meta Title: Include your main keyword naturally, and keep it within 50-60 characters to avoid it being truncated in search results.Meta Description: Include relevant keywords and keep it between 120-160 characters for better visibility.How to Translate Meta Tags:Langwill doesn't automatically translate meta tags in bulk. If you want to translate them in bulk, you can go to the Manage Translation section in your Langwill, click the translation button next to the relevant resource (like products, collections, blogs, or homepage SEO), and select to translate the meta tags and meta descriptions.Alternatively, you can manually translate them directly on the details page.After you translate and update your Meta Titles and Descriptions, it might take a few days before you see the changes live on your pages. You can use a Chrome extension like Detailed SEO Extension to quickly check the Meta Titles and Descriptions on your pages and make sure everything looks good.Important Note: Before translating, manually edit the default language's meta tags to follow SEO best practices. If not manually edited, Shopify may grab the product title and description by default, which can result in long, cut-off meta descriptions and a lack of focus on important product keywords.2. Translate URL handleEach URL slug with a separate page link can be translated. URL slugs, such as /pages/price can be translated into /es/pages/precios but the word pages cannot be translated.When translating URL handle, ensure that your URLs are in the local language for a more user-friendly experience. This not only improves readability but also helps with SEO, as search engines can better understand the relevance of the page for local searches.Best Practices for URL Slugs:Keep the slug short and simple, and directly related to the page or product.Avoid using special characters, and use hyphens (-) to separate words.Currently, our AI translation will skip the URL slug and will not translate it by default. If you need to translate it, please do it manually or click the translation button on the right to translate individually.Redirect After Translation:After translating a URL slug, Shopify automatically creates a 301 redirect from the original URL to the translated version. This ensures that search engines index both the original and translated pages.For example:The original URL: https://www.example.com/products/shoesThe translated URL: https://www.example.com/products/es/zapatosIf you delete the translation, the redirect will revert to the original URL. However, no additional redirects will be created from the deleted URL to the default version.Refer to this article for more details. 3. A Unique URL for Different Language Page VersionsA unique URL for different language page versions is critical for search engines to index and identify the correct content. Shopify accomplishes this by adding a language code to each URL when you publish a new language version of your store. For example, if your store's primary domain is example.com, adding two new languages—French (fr) and German (de)—will create language-specific URLs such as:example.com/fr for the French versionexample.com/de for the German version This method helps search engines and users access the right version of your store, making your content more discoverable. Additionally, Shopify allows you to use international domains feature in Shopify Markets.For more information on managing translations and SEO, feel free to check out our help center articles and reach out to our support team.

How to properly translate default Language?
You can also watch this guide video to learn more.What does default language really mean?Default Language is the language you set for your store on Shopify.You can find and adjust it in your store's settings.This is the base language your store uses to display content and the starting point for all translations.Impact on Store display:If you have configured both Geolocation and individual market default languages, the language displayed to visitors will follow this order:1. Geolocation Redirected Language – The language based on the user's geographic location.2. Market Default Language – The default language set for the market.3. Store Default Language – The default language of your store.For example:If your store's default language is German and you’ve set up Geolocation redirection, visitors from the U.S. market will be redirected to English according to IP.If you haven’t set Geolocation but have configured the U.S. market's default language as English, visitors from the U.S. market will be redirected to English.If neither Geolocation nor market-specific settings are configured, visitors from the U.S. will see the default language of the store, which in this case is German.Impact on SEO & Best SEO PracticesYour default language doesn’t directly impact SEO rankings. Rankings depend on how well the SEO for your primary market’s default language is optimized.If your store's Default Language is already configured, there's no need to change it. Instead, focus on:1. Set the default language for each marketplace individually2. Optimizing SEO for the default language versions of main market.What If My Default Language Content Includes Mixed Languages?When setting up a Shopify store, some merchants mistakenly select the default language based on their target market instead of the language in which their content is written.This can lead to a situation where your store’s source content includes mixed languages (e.g., products written in German while the default language is English).To unify your store content into one consistent language you can take the following approaches.Option1. Change default language to the language you have written in your storeStep 1: Change the default language:Go to Shopify Admin → Settings → Languages → Published Languages → Click Change default → Select the language in which your store is written.What Happens When You Change the Default Language?Once changed, Your product/blog content entered in German will remain unchanged. They will display the content you’ve entered (in German).The theme, checkout, and other elements will also display in German, with text provided by Shopify.Some content provided by the theme, such as navigation, does not have a German version provided by Shopify and needs to be manually edited into German. Don't worry, this content is minimal.Step 2: Adding and translating your previous default Language in Langwill.Add the English translation in Langwill, and once the translation is complete, your English version will display correctly.We recommend this method as it ensures all your language versions function properly. If your primary market is English, having German as the default language will not affect your website’s SEO ranking. You just to focus on: Set English as the default language for the English market. Focus on optimizing SEO for the English version.Option 2: Using Langwill to Translate the Default LanguageAdd your default language to Langwill for translation. Please note that Shopify does not support creating two versions of the same language, so Langwill's default language translation does not generate translation text. The process works as follows:When your customers visit your store in default language page, Langwill uses the browser's translation plugin to translate your store's content into English. This is done using the browser’s built-in translation tool.If you have further questions, feel free to contact us!

You only need to translate the variant values in the product resources without additional translation. Please note, according to the Shopify documentation, the product tag filter is only displayed to customers shopping in the store's default language. The product vendor filter values are always based on the store's default language.If you are using custom product metafield as filter options, the resources are in the Metafield.The metafield's text type is usually in JSON format. Currently, we do not support the translation of JSON formats. You can translate by downloading the metafield resources, translating them in Excel, and then uploading them. Please ensure that all product metafiles are translated; otherwise, the filter will display both the original and translated filter values.Method Two: Use Page Element for Translation For specific usage, see this article. If most of the filter options use metafields, this method is recommended. Because the filter may display quantities, which are dynamic, we recommend using the Class&ID method of the page element for translation. Please note that the page element is only available for Growth Plan and above.The implementation principle of this method is to replace the text on the front end. If there are new values added to the filter or the class in the code layer changes, you will need to update the page element translation.
