Weglot integration

What Weglot is

Weglot is a no-code website translation platform that detects all content on a site, produces machine translations with human-editing capability, and serves localised versions on SEO-friendly URLs with correct hreflang tags — enabling multilingual Shopify storefronts without rebuilding the theme architecture.

How we integrate Weglot with Shopify

Weglot installs via the Shopify App Store and activates through a script tag in the theme, making the initial connection straightforward on standard Online Store 2.0 themes. Ecom Majesty's implementation work involves configuring language pairs and glossaries (to protect brand terms, product names, and legal copy from being machine-translated), setting up URL structure (subdirectory or subdomain localisation to align with the Shopify Markets domain strategy), and running a quality-check pass over automated translations for the most commercially critical copy — PDPs, checkout messaging, and legal pages. For headless builds, Ecom Majesty connects Weglot via its REST API rather than the script tag, feeding translated strings into the frontend's i18n layer at build time or on the edge.

What the work involves

• Weglot activated via the theme script tag on Online Store 2.0, with language pairs and glossaries configured to protect brand and legal copy.
• URL structure (subdirectory or subdomain) set to align with the Shopify Markets domain strategy.
• Quality-check pass over automated translations for commercially critical copy — PDPs, checkout, legal pages.
• For headless, Weglot connected via its REST API into the frontend's i18n layer.
