Linguise is excited to announce the official Linguise Shopify App—a streamlined, native integration that makes translating your entire Shopify store faster, easier, and more reliable than ever. This new app replaces the legacy Shopify integration method, delivering a smoother setup experience and better long-term performance for shop owners expanding into international markets.
What's new with the Linguise Shopify App?
The official Shopify app brings Linguise translation directly into your Shopify admin and streamlines everything from initial setup to ongoing management. Everything you need to launch a multilingual store is now available in one place.
Key features
With the app installed, Linguise connects to your store, detects your content, and enables automatic translation across all key areas of your Shopify site.
- Automatic Cloud AI Translation – Instantly translate your entire store—products, collections, pages, blogs, navigation, and checkout—using Linguise’s Cloud AI engine powered by Google Cloud Translation.
- SEO-Friendly Multilingual URLs – Each language version gets its own indexed URL structure (e.g. fr.yourstore.com, es.yourstore.com), complete with hreflang tags and alternate links for proper international SEO.
- Full Content Coverage – Translate 100% of your Shopify content, from product descriptions to the final checkout confirmation, ensuring a seamless customer journey in every language.
- One-Click Setup via Shopify App – Install directly from the Shopify App Store, select your languages, complete guided DNS configuration, design your language switcher, and add the script to your theme—all from a clear, step-by-step interface.
- Customizable Language Switcher – Display a fully branded flag/language selector anywhere on your store, configured from your Linguise dashboard.
- Live Translation Editor & Rules – Use the Linguise dashboard and live editor to fine-tune translations directly on your storefront, edit SEO meta tags, exclude specific terms (like brand names), and create powerful translation rules per language, URL, or content type.

Why the Shopify App is better than the legacy method
The legacy Shopify integration with Linguise relied on a more manual process: configuring DNS externally, embedding a script into the theme, and cross-checking everything across multiple tools. While it worked, it demanded more technical effort and hands-on maintenance.
| Aspect | Legacy Method | New Linguise Shopify App |
|---|---|---|
| Usage | Manage languages and settings from the Linguise dashboard. | Manage everything from the Shopify app. |
| Language switcher | Requires manual theme code edits to add the language switcher. | Automatic switcher integration via Shopify theme editor, no coding needed. |
| Installation time | Slower setup, typically 30–60 minutes depending on DNS & theme edits. | One-click install, usually under 5 minutes. |
| Access required | Requires Shopify admin access and Linguise dashboard account. | Works entirely from Shopify admin. |
| Troubleshooting | Harder to troubleshoot due to manual configuration. | Built-in connection status and diagnostics inside the app. |
The new app delivers a native Shopify experience—easier to install, simpler to maintain, and more reliable for stores that update themes or migrate domains.
Who is this for?
The Linguise Shopify App is ideal for:
- E-commerce store owners looking to expand internationally without hiring translators for every product update.
- Agencies and developers managing multilingual Shopify builds for clients who need a fast, repeatable setup process.
- Growing brands that want SEO-indexed translations and a localized checkout experience to improve international conversion rates.
