"AI Translate Shopify App"

The client approached us with a clear need: simplify content translation and make it manageable at scale. They wanted to improve the localization process while maintaining full control over updates.

They needed a custom Shopify app that would:

• Automate translations of product, theme, and policy content.
• Minimize manual work while preserving accuracy.
• Enable continuous syncing for all language versions.
• Monitor translation progress in real time with clear job tracking.
• Support multilingual compliance (e.g. translating privacy policies).
• Use AI for natural output, especially for more complex languages.

We created a custom Shopify app tailored to these requirements using modern web technologies and AI.

Here’s what was implemented:

• AI-driven localization engine: Integrated OpenAI to automatically translate all key store content — products, collections, theme text, and legal pages like Privacy Policy.
• Smart job management: Built a full translation monitoring system showing job status, progress, and errors.
• Auto-recheck & scheduling: Added interval-based checks (e.g. every 6 hours) that trigger re-translation if content changes.
• Multi-language support: Enabled translations into over 10 languages, including niche ones like Wolof, with real-time job status like "in progress," "paused," or "stopped."
• Remix-based interface: Developed a responsive admin UI for configuring translation settings, reviewing jobs, and managing language versions.

The client now runs multilingual Shopify content updates seamlessly, without manual work or third-party tools. Translations across products, policies, and design elements are triggered, tracked, and updated automatically using AI. They gained full visibility over job statuses and error handling, making it easy to maintain high-quality translations across more than 10 languages. With DevIT’s deep expertise in Shopify and intelligent automation, the client transformed localization from a bottleneck into a strategic advantage.
