Translate to Portuguese from Portugal

[JVinagre]

Hi everyone!

I’m currently running a store that’s primarily in English, and I’m looking for the best app to translate all content into Portuguese, specifically for the Portugal market. I’d love a solution that offers high-quality translations and supports both manual editing and automated options.

For those with experience in translating your store into Portuguese (from Portugal), which apps do you recommend? What has worked well for you in terms of accuracy and ease of use? Ideally the app should be able to translate the Shopify Inbox app as well as customers reviews.

Also, any tips on optimizing the translated content for SEO would be much appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @JVinagre 

This is Ellie from BOGOS.

Here are my app recommendations, please test them to see which will fit your needs:

• Transcy (4.8 rating, 5,800+ reviews): This app has the identical designs with Shopify Admin, so it would be easy for you to use. The app allows both manual editing and automated options. Transcy has been integrated with many apps such as Judgeme, Ali Reviews, Air Reviews... so displaying reviews shouldn't be an issue. From my experience, Transcy offers great customer support with fast response times. They also have the most reviews from Shopify merchants so it somehow proves that their features can work well.
• We glot (4.6 rating, 1,500+ reviews): Well-known for its high-quality translations and SEO-friendly features as it automatically indexes translated pages on search engines. The app supports both automated translations and manual edits. Changes made to your store are reflected instantly in the translated version. I just recently learn that the app translation is conducted on server side so it helps your store run faster too. The onboarding on their Shopify app however can be a little complicated, might take some time to learn and understand.

FYI: BOGOS: Free Gift, Discounts & Bundles are integrated with both apps, so if you want to run promotions on your store and need to translate them, take a look at BOGOS 😉

Tips for Optimizing Translated Content for SEO:

- Create distinct URLs for each language (e.g., yourstore.com/pt) to improve indexing and ranking
- Set hreflang tags correctly to indicate language and regional targeting, avoiding duplicate content

- Localize instead of just translating: Care about the culture, idioms, currency... too
- Adjust meta titles and descriptions with relevant Portuguese keywords for better SEO.
- Use tools like Google Search Console to track and enhance performance of translated pages.
