Translate Shopify using AI
Artificial intelligence has without question completely changed the way in which content is translated for e-commerce. And as a trusted tech company, at ATLS we leverage our advanced AI translation technology to ensure: speed, accuracy and adaptability. Our technology not only translates texts but also localises them, factoring in cultural and language aspects of the market we're targeting. And that’s not all. Our AI also allows:
- Real-time translations: perfect for stores with constantly updated catalogues.
- Terminology consistency: it maintains a uniform tone and style across the store.
- Scalability: ideal for businesses planning to expand rapidly into new markets.
Our AI is designed to integrate flawlessly with Shopify, making it easy to manage customised machine translations.
Translate Shopify with human translation
AI translation isn't always effective. Some sections or parts of a website call for the highest quality and seamless accuracy. In this respect, there's no doubt about it: human translation is still irreplaceable. At ATLS we have a team of native-speaker translators specialising in a wide range of sectors and fields, from fashion and technology to finance and health. These experts not only translate the content but also adapt it culturally, ensuring that the messages resonate with the target audience in each market. Our translators' experience and expertise deliver:
- Technical accuracy: ideal for stores with specific terminology (e.g. pharmaceutical or medical sectors).
- Cultural adaptation: linguistic and stylistic adjustments which connect emotionally with the audience.
- Consistency: cohesive tone and style throughout the store.
- Professional outcomes: translations which reflect your brand's essence and build customer confidence. In fact, they don't look like translations at all but rather native copywriting.
Key advantages of using a professional Shopify translator
Although Shopify does provide basic options for translating your online store, calling on a professional Shopify translator brings significant benefits:
- Guaranteed quality: the translation can be done using AI or by specialists in each language and sector. You choose!
- Cultural localisation: we don't just translate words as we also customise the content to suit each market. As you know, French in France is not the same as French in Canada for example. We keep these subtleties in mind!
- Continuous optimisation: our team reviews and tweaks the translations based on your store's performance and needs.
- Regulatory compliance: we ensure content complies with local regulations, a critical aspect for some markets such as Eastern ones.
