ConveyThis: a faster AI-driven alternative to Langify for Shopify
AI translations in minutes, not weeks
ConveyThis automatically detects and translates your Shopify content — products, collections, pages, blogs, and more — into 200+ languages in just a few minutes. New products and content are picked up and translated automatically, so your catalog stays fully localized as you grow.
Flexible quality: AI, manual edits, and pro translators
Start with high-quality AI translation, then refine everything to match your brand voice. Use translation memory, glossaries, and rules to keep terminology consistent, and optionally involve your team or professional translators directly through the ConveyThis dashboard.
Complete localization for the whole journey
ConveyThis doesn’t stop at product pages. It can localize your Shopify checkout, customer account pages, and even content coming from popular third-party apps — so shoppers get a consistent experience from discovery to order confirmation.
Simple translation management in one place
Manage all your translations from a single dashboard:
- Visual editor to translate in context right on your pages
- Central project view across multiple stores
- Import/export workflows
- Translation memory, exclusions, and per-page rules
This keeps global teams aligned and eliminates messy spreadsheets.
Multilingual SEO handled for you
ConveyThis automatically creates SEO-friendly language structures (subdirectories/subdomains), adds hreflang tags, and translates key metadata so your localized pages can be indexed and discovered in each market
ConveyThis vs Langify at a glance
Both apps help you translate a Shopify store — but they emphasize different workflows. Langify traditionally leans toward manual control with paid machine translation add-ons, while ConveyThis is automation-first with built-in AI and visual tools that reduce ongoing effort.

Why merchants choose ConveyThis over Langify
1. Automation-first vs. translation-heavy workflows
ConveyThis is designed to translate everything automatically and keep it up to date — so you spend your time reviewing and optimizing, not manually filling in hundreds of fields. Langify is excellent for detailed, manual control, but that often means more time spent translating or configuring machine translation jobs.
2. Built-in AI translation instead of piecemeal MT usage
With ConveyThis, AI translation is integrated into the platform with generous included word quotas; you don’t have to wire up separate translation providers or worry about external billing. Langify gives you AI and manual translation too, but meters machine-translated words via quotas and volume-based discounts, which can add complexity for large catalogs.
3. In-context editing that feels natural
ConveyThis’s visual editor lets you click directly on your storefront and adjust translations in place, which makes fine-tuning CTAs, menus, and product details much faster and less error-prone. Langify’s interface is more list- and form-based, which works but feels less “what you see is what you get.”
4. Free plan that actually includes AI
If you’re testing multilingual for the first time, ConveyThis gives you a free plan that includes AI translation, multilingual SEO, and a basic language switcher. Langify’s free plan focuses on manual translations and limits advanced features and machine translation to paid tiers.
5. Built to scale beyond Shopify
While this page focuses on Shopify, ConveyThis also integrates with WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, and custom JS sites. If you run multiple properties across different platforms, you can standardize on one translation stack instead of juggling different tools per site.
A simple decision guide
Choose Langify if:
- Your team prefers hands-on, manual control over every translation and doesn’t mind spending more time inside a translation dashboard
- You want to fine-tune content field by field (product texts, meta fields, custom sections) and are comfortable managing translations in lists and forms
- You already have translators or an internal team and mainly need a powerful UI to input and organize their work
- You’re happy to configure machine translation quotas as an add-on rather than relying on automation for everything
- You don’t mind a more “translator-centric” workflow where precision and control matter more than speed and automation
Choose ConveyThis if:
- Your priority is to translate a website or Shopify store end-to-end (products, collections, blogs, pages) with minimal developer involvement
- You want AI-powered translations in 200+ languages that run automatically and keep new products and content in sync
- You’d like a no-code setup (app/snippet) that adds a language switcher and translated pages in minutes
- You value a visual, in-context editor plus glossaries, rules, and multilingual SEO built in (URLs, hreflang, metadata)
- You prefer a usage-based pricing model (translated words / languages) with a free tier to test and paid plans you can scale into as traffic grows
