Translate your Shopify store with Supertext AI, right from the Shopify admin.
Open Apps → Supertext Translation, pick products, collections, pages or blog posts and the languages, and click Translate with Supertext. The app translates every text field in the background and writes the results to Shopify's own translation store, so customers see them in your shop and you can review them in Shopify's Translate & Adapt app.
- Products, collections, pages, blog posts and blogs, into all your shop's languages at once
- Product descriptions keep their headings, lists, bold text and links
- Keeps existing translations unless you ask to overwrite; outdated ones are translated again
- Formal or informal form of address
- Export for translation (XLIFF 1.2 or HTML) for translators, translation tools or Supertext's web app, and import of the translated file
Besides translating with Supertext AI, you can export a product, collection, page or blog post as a file, have it translated elsewhere and import the result.
- Where: the export and import sections below the translate button on the app's Translate page.
- Formats: XLIFF 1.2 for translation tools such as Trados, memoQ or Phrase (formatting travels as protected tags; several target languages in one file), or HTML (one language per file) for translators or Supertext's web app, which keeps the file's head and
data-st-idattributes, so the translated file imports as it is. - Import: the file says what it was exported from and for which language. The translations are written with the same rules as a Supertext AI translation, and a summary shows what was imported and what was skipped: source changed since the export (import those anyway with Also import texts whose source changed since the export), not translated, formatting changed, not in the file.
- Safe: files over 10 MB, files from another system and translations that add markup the source doesn't have are refused; uploaded files aren't stored.

You need a Supertext account and API key. No Supertext account yet? Create one at supertext.com. Generate your API key at supertext.com → Integrations → API (requires the Admin role).
A Shopify app made from Shopify's React Router template: an embedded page in the Shopify admin, served by a small Node.js backend (hosted on Railway) that reads and writes content through the GraphQL Admin API. Nothing is installed on Shopify's side apart from the app itself.
