Translation agencies integration

What Translation agencies is

This capability covers the workflow integration between human translation agencies or translation management systems (TMS) and the Shopify localisation stack — connecting professional translators to the content that needs localising rather than treating machine translation as the only option.

How we integrate Translation agencies with Shopify

Ecom Majesty builds and operates the file export and import pipeline that sits between Shopify's Translations API (typically surfaced via Langify or Weglot) and a translation agency's preferred delivery format. The workflow typically involves exporting translatable strings — product descriptions, collection content, theme copy, checkout content — into XLIFF or CSV, passing files to the agency or TMS, and re-importing reviewed translations back into Shopify's locale records once approved. Ecom Majesty manages the handoff logistics: scoping what requires human review versus where machine translation is acceptable, versioning translation files so updates to source copy trigger targeted retranslation rather than full re-exports, and aligning the translation cycle with Shopify Markets configuration so the right locale is served per domain or subdirectory. Where the brand already has a TMS such as Phrase or Lokalise, Ecom Majesty connects it to the Shopify translation layer directly rather than operating a manual file exchange.

What the work involves

• File export and import pipeline built between Shopify's Translations API (via Langify or Weglot) and the agency's delivery format.
• Strings exported to XLIFF or CSV, sent to the agency or TMS, and re-imported into Shopify locale records on approval.
• Source-copy versioning so updates trigger targeted retranslation rather than full re-exports, aligned to Shopify Markets.
• An existing TMS (Phrase, Lokalise) connected directly rather than running a manual file exchange.
