Multilingual Review App with auto-translation to other languages

Shopify Apps
,

Topic summary

Goal: show product reviews in the correct language on a multilingual Shopify store translated with Translate & Adapt (Shopify’s built‑in translation app) while using Judge.me (reviews app).

Current issue: no clear, native way to auto-translate new reviews across all languages and display them per locale with Translate & Adapt alone. Another user reports the same need and seeks a reviews-only translation solution.

Latest update/workaround:

  • Use Langify (translation app) alongside Translate & Adapt.
  • Feature: Langify’s “Custom Content” can translate third‑party app content (e.g., Judge.me review text).
  • Process: add each review’s text under Langify → Custom → Product Pages, then click auto‑translate; translated content appears when switching languages. Screenshots provided are central to understanding the steps.

Limitations:

  • Manual step required: each review must be added as custom content before auto‑translation; no fully automatic sync for new reviews is described.
  • No direct compatibility confirmation between Translate & Adapt and review apps for automatic review translation.

Status: partially addressed via Langify workaround; a fully automated, native solution remains unresolved.

Hi there,

I translated my store with Translate & Adapt by Shopify into 10 languages.

I have judge.me review app installed before (to capture german reviews). Now i am struggeling on how to show the correct languages to the different sites for my reviews.

Idealy when a new review comes in it gets auto-translated to all other languages and displays there correctly.

I looked now for quite some time to find a review app which is compatible with translate & adapt, but unfortunately i had no luck so far…
Did anyone deal with the same problem here? Would really be beneficial to show reviews in the correct language.

Thanks, tom

I have this problem too! any update on your side? I’m trying to find a translation app that can work alongside Translate & adapt and use it just for the reviews.

I’d recommend using Langify alongside Translate & Adapt to translate your reviews.

Langify has a feature called Custom Content which you can use to translate 3rd party app content:

https://support.langify-app.com/support/solutions/articles/11000082059-custom-content-translations

Here’s an example:

I want to translate the review body of one of my reviews which says

“Great customer service. I am very pleased. Thank you for my new products that arrived today.”

from English to German:

I’d just have to add this text to Langify → Custom → Product Pages first:

Once done I can auto-translate it by clicking on the green “auto-translate” button on the top right:

After switching the language to German my translation shows up as expected:

Please note that once you’ve added at least one custom content to e.g. Langify → Custom → Product Pages you’d have to click on the three-dot icon on the top right to add more custom content if you want to do so:

There you’ll be able to add as many custom content as once as you want:

Please note that you can auto-translate your reviews as shown above however you’d still have to manually add the custom content to Langify.

In my experience, Langify works best with Judge.me.
