What's going wrong
Merchants running stores in several languages report that customer-facing text in marketing apps cannot be translated or switched to a shopper's language. The problem appears in forms and popups, back-in-stock alert emails, and messaging tools. Shoppers see English next to their own language, alert emails read as spam, and EU merchants must write separate campaigns by hand. Reports come from owners of international Shopify shops and from reviewers of several different apps, so the failure is not tied to one vendor. The opportunity is a shared translation and template layer that works across these tool types and gives each language its own copy.
