Translate and review store content

Translate & Adapt is enabled by default. It works with the languages already enabled for your store and the content you have permission to manage.

Prepare your languages

Enable the languages you want shoppers to use under Languages. Translate & Adapt needs a source language and a different, enabled translation language. The store's default language is protected: this workspace never saves a translation over it.

The addon does not automatically enable languages, translate the whole store or change your store's theme. Store interface text and theme labels use their existing translation tools.

Translate an item

Open Translate & Adapt, choose Products, Categories, Pages or Blog posts, and search by name. Select an item, then choose Translate from and Translate to. Only content types you can manage appear. Blog posts also require the Blog module.

The original appears beside the editable translation. You can translate the name/title, descriptions/content and supported SEO fields. Rich descriptions use the existing content editor. Saving one field preserves the other translated fields.

Choose Save and mark reviewed after checking the wording, facts, formatting and links. The selected language is updated immediately wherever the store already serves that localized content. Other languages stay unchanged.

Draft with AI

Optionally enter market guidance, such as audience, tone or terms that should stay unchanged. Select Generate AI draft. Review and adjust the result before saving.

AI output stays in the editor until you save it. Generating a draft does not publish it. Your store needs its existing AI provider connection for drafting; manual translation works without AI.

Keep translations current

The review message shows whether a translation has never been reviewed, matches the current original, or needs review because the original changed. Saving marks the translation reviewed against the original you saw.

If another person changes the original or saved translation while you edit, saving is refused. Keep a copy of any edits you want, reload the saved translation and review the new version. This prevents one editor from silently overwriting another's work.

Changing an item or language prompts you before discarding unsaved work. Leaving or reloading the page can also discard browser-only edits.

Open from a content editor

The Translate & Adapt shortcut in supported product, category and page editors opens that item directly in the translation workspace. It appears only when the addon is on and your account has the relevant permissions.

Permissions

The workspace requires Manage translations and the matching content permission: Manage catalog for products, Manage categories for categories, or Manage content for pages and blog posts. Language setup still needs its existing settings permission. Disabling the addon removes access to this workspace; saved localized content remains available through existing storefront behavior.
