 "summary": "AI Shopify store translation (by Northwest): translate products, collections, theme text, metafields and even hard-coded and third-party-app text across languages, with a choice of engine (its own, Google, OpenAI or DeepSeek), image translation, protected terms and Shopify Markets support.",
 "best_for": "small-to-mid Shopify stores that want affordable, full-store AI translation — including images and third-party-app text — and are comfortable bringing their own OpenAI or DeepSeek key for unlimited volume",
 "skip_if": "you run a large catalogue and want predictable all-in pricing without managing API keys or quotas, you require a proven app with a large review base, or you need SLA and support guarantees",
 "honest_knock": "The 'free AI' is heavily quota-limited — 50 products on Free, up to 800 on Pro — so a genuinely multilingual catalogue pushes you either to a paid tier or to your own OpenAI/DeepSeek key, where you pay token costs separately on top of the subscription. Auto-translation of new or changed content is reserved for the higher plans. And the track record is thin: 5.0 stars but only nine reviews, the app launched in July 2025, and it carries no 'Built for Shopify' badge — cheap and promising, but unproven.",

  "notes": "(verified 2026-08-28 on apps.shopify.com/advanced-translation) Four tiers, all monthly. Free installs at no cost and gives you unlimited AI if you bring your own OpenAI or DeepSeek key, or free built-in AI for a small quota (50 products, 50 metafields, 100 variants, 5 articles). Starter is $4.99, Basic $14.99 and Pro $29.99, each raising the free-AI quota (100, 400 and 800 products respectively) — or, again, unlimited if you supply your own key. The model's real pivot is that key: bring your own and you pay the AI provider's token costs directly for unlimited volume; rely on the built-in free AI and you are capped per tier.",

  "name": "Weglot",
  "why": "Weglot is the established, higher-priced incumbent for Shopify translation; Easy Advanced Translations undercuts it sharply and translates deeper into theme and third-party text, but with a young nine-review record and a bring-your-own-AI-key model rather than Weglot's all-in pricing. Pick Weglot for a proven managed service, this for price and depth if you will manage a key"
