Hi @Kuadros , 1 - yes as long as it is one of the apps in the collections I linked to. Those apps are compliant with the Shopify translations API. 2. It was linked to under the word ‘here’ but here it is again: https://community.shopify.com/post/2404113. 3. I can’t know unfortunately, that would be a condition of Google. Worth a try. That is a lot of content though so restrictions are likely, and a 3P app might be the safest way to go
Topic summary
Merchant’s automatic store translations began failing with a “machine translations quota has been exceeded” message after uploading many products. They ask for the official limit and whether they can pay to extend it without using a third‑party app.
Staff clarifies Shopify’s Translate & Adapt has a 1,000,000‑character machine translation limit. There’s currently no way to pay for more, though paid models are being explored; a beta sign‑up link was provided (does not unlock more quota now).
Options provided:
- Manual translation in Translate & Adapt (unlimited if entered manually; can paste results from tools like Google Translate).
- Use a third‑party translation app that writes via Shopify’s Translations API; translations remain compatible and mutually editable. Example suggested by another user: T‑Lab (free for 1 language; $30/month for up to 20; can uninstall after translating if no new content is added).
- CSV import/export workaround.
Follow‑ups: Staff confirms 3P apps from the recommended collection will preserve the existing translation setup. On CSV with very large catalogs (>50k variants), daily limits can’t be guaranteed (likely restrictions); a 3P app may be safer.
Status: No immediate way to raise the quota; actionable paths are manual, 3P app, or CSV; discussion remains open.
