Difficulty translating a single PageFly-built page within a Shopify store that already uses Shopify’s native translation app. The user notes Shopify’s built-in tools don’t cover PageFly content and seeks a practical workaround.
Options being considered:
Add Weglot (a third‑party translation app), but concerned about conflicts when two translation apps run together.
Duplicate the PageFly page and recreate it in the target language, which may be time‑consuming.
Clarifications: PageFly is a third‑party page builder for Shopify, and Shopify’s native translation app handles theme/store content but may not integrate fully with PageFly pages. Weglot provides automatic multilingual support but could overlap with Shopify’s translation system.
Status: No solution or decision yet; the thread is a request for advice. Key question remains how to translate PageFly content efficiently without app conflicts or manual duplication.

I am using Shopify’s translation app to translate my website. However, I also have one page built with the PageFly app, which I can’t translate using Shopify’s native translation features. I was considering using the Weglot app, but I’ve heard that using two translation apps can cause conflicts. Another option might be to duplicate the page and recreate it in a new language.
What would you suggest? Is there perhaps a smarter or more efficient solution?
As far as I remember, if there is no translation in Weglot it would not do anything, so you should be able to only translate one page.
Weglot works (or can work) in visitors browsers while translate and adapt works server-side. This, however may negatively impact your pagespeed.
But, in my opinion, smarter and more efficient solution would be to ditch the PageFly even if you’d need dev assistance to recreate the page.
This should also improve your page speed.
