Verdict

langify suits stores that want a low monthly fee and are happy to pay once for machine translation, since word packages are one-time purchases2,4. The catch is effort: Bulk Translation needs the $29.95 Growth plan and skips metafields, custom content and images3.

Install it if

  • Large catalogues that want a low monthly fee
  • Merchants who translate by hand or work with professional translators
  • Stores selling in many languages, up to 20

Skip it if

  • Merchants who want new content translated automatically
  • Teams that need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 paperwork
  • Merchants who want Shopify Flow automation

Good

  • Free plan with unlimited manual translations in up to 5 languages3.
  • Machine translation words are a one-time purchase, from $4.99 per 10,000 words4.
  • Exports translations as CSV or PO for backup or editing6.
  • Translates many third-party apps through Custom Content2.

Not so good

  • Machine translation runs only when you start it; new content is not translated on its own5.
  • Bulk Translation needs Growth and skips metafields, metaobjects, custom content, images and collection filters3.
  • Rated 4.6, below 4.71.
  • No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification is named2,7.

The monthly fee is flat; machine translation words are bought once, so a bigger catalogue raises the one-time cost, not the monthly bill2,4.
