Sell in new markets without sounding translated

Lingomatic reads your store before it writes a word. Your brand voice, your glossary and the translations already sitting in Shopify all shape what comes out, and coverage is broken down by content type and language so you can see what is still missing. It also guards the work: your edits survive a re-sync, theme pushes repair themselves, and imported or duplicate content costs nothing. The free plan is 10,000 credits across 2 languages, enough to judge the output on your own products.How Lingomatic compares to the other translation apps →

1 credit = 1 word of Standard-quality translation. Premium adds an independent editing pass to eligible long-form text for 1.5 credits per word; short strings and excluded content stay at the Standard rate. You see the exact estimate first. There is no overage or automatic upgrade, imported and duplicate translations are free, and extra credit packs never expire. Draft and archived products are never synced, so they cost nothing and don't count toward your product limit.

On Growth and Pro, yes. Auto-translate picks up changes as soon as they sync, and auto-publish puts them live without you opening the app. On Basic, you press the button yourself.

Basic is free forever: 10,000 credits a month, 2 languages, up to 100 products, and no card at any point. Most merchants run it on a handful of their own products first and judge the output before they pay anything. Move to Growth when you add a third language or pass 100 products, or stay on Basic.

No, and you don't pay to redo them. On your first sync, Lingomatic imports the translations Shopify already holds and marks them published, exactly as you left them. No re-translation, no credits spent, and they don't count against your plan's product limit. You only pay for the new languages you add. An imported translation is redone only if you change the original text, and then only that field, or if you ask for a fresh one yourself.Adding more languages after Translate & Adapt →

No. An edit you make is marked as reviewed, and a re-sync only clears unpublished machine drafts. Your wording and anything already live stay exactly as they are. There is one exception: rewrite the source text of a field you had edited and that translation no longer matches, so it gets redone. Even then nothing happens quietly. The field tells you, your version sits one click away in history, and you decide whether to bring it back. This works on every plan, the free one included.

Not unless you ask. Metafields from Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo, Stamped, Ali Reviews, PageFly and Shogun are excluded by default, and you can include or exclude any namespace, or any single field, from the glossary settings. Content that lives only on an app's own servers can't be translated through Shopify by anyone.

They come back on their own. A push to your live theme can make Shopify quietly drop translations registered against theme keys, and it is a hard failure to catch: nothing errors, the language still counts as complete, and the only symptom is shoppers reading your source language. Lingomatic watches for theme updates, asks Shopify which of your published keys are actually still there, and republishes the ones that went missing. It costs no credits and needs nothing from you.

Shopify caps theme translations per language on its lower plans, about 3,600 keys on Shopify Basic. Lingomatic publishes the most visible strings first, storefront sections, checkout and navigation, and keeps whatever doesn't fit as waiting rather than failed. Those go live on their own when slots open. On Growth and Pro you also choose what uses the slots: switch off groups you don't need and pin the strings that matter. Products, pages, emails and policies are never affected.

Yes. Export any set of translations to CSV or XLSX, filtered by language, content type or status, edit them anywhere, and import the file back. The import shows a row-by-row preview and flags errors and unchanged rows before anything is applied.

No. Lingomatic writes into Shopify's own translation layer, so your languages live on your store rather than on our servers. There is no script or proxy to unpick, and uninstalling leaves your published translations exactly where they are. We delete our own copy 48 hours later, as Shopify requires, so publish anything still waiting in the editor before you go.What transfers when you leave a translation app →
