This guide explains the sections in langify’s left‑hand main menu.
The Dashboard
The Dashboard shows your machine translation word usage, translation progress, and recently edited items.
It also contains further sections to manage your languages, a Switcher Configurator to edit your language switcher, and the Theme Settings where you can publish langify on your store and add the polyfill code for server-side related Custom Content translations.
Machine Translation
In this section you can find the Bulk Translation - a tool you can use to translate almost all store content in one go.
The second option, Words Log, will show how many words have been used and in which sections.
Products
Here you can find all product-related contents - the Products themselves and the Collections.
In the Products section you will be able to translate your products' main texts such as title, description, SEO and variants. And additionally their images, metafields, tags, types and vendors.
In the Collections section you can translate your collections, including their images and metafields.
Content
The Content section covers all content you have set up at Shopify -> Content:
In the Metaobjects option, you will be able to translate your metaobjects.
In the Navigation section you can translate the menus you have set up at Shopify -> Content -> Menus. This includes, for example, your header and footer menus.
In the Blogs section you can find and translate the blogs you have set up in Shopify at Content -> Blog posts -> Manage blogs.
The Articles section contains the articles you have set up in Shopify -> Content -> Blog posts. Plus, you will be able to translate their summaries, metafields and images.
Online Store
The Theme section covers different texts such as:
- Any text you have added via your Shopify Theme Customizer
- Checkout
- Theme default content (login page, cart, gift card)
The translations of the Theme section are theme-specific. When you change themes, they don’t carry over automatically - unless you have used the "Duplicate" option in Shopify to create your new theme.
In case you need to migrate the translations, you can find all necessary steps in our guide What should I do when switching to a new theme with langify?
The Pages option will allow you to translate the pages set up at Shopify -> Online Store -> Pages, and their metafields.
Apps
In the Embedded Apps section you can find all apps that have integrated their texts with the native Shopify translation system.
In the Integrated Apps section you can find those apps that have a custom integration with langify. Furthermore, it contains a list of recommended apps that work well with langify.
Note that most non‑integrated apps can be translated using the Custom section.
General
The General section has two important options:
The Shop section includes:
- Your store policies that you have set up at Shopify -> Settings -> Policies
- The payment methods and shipping methods for your checkout
- The store metafields
- The general SEO title and description of your store
Currently, Shopify doesn’t support translating customized payment or shipping methods.
The Notifications section allows you to translate the emails sent to your customers.
Note that Shopify only supports translating the notifications found at Shopify -> Settings -> Notifications.
Custom
The Custom section is where you can translate most third-party app contents or Shopify contents that are not supported out of the box. For more information on how to use Custom Content, please check our guide Custom Content translations.
Profile
In My Profile, you can find relevant options such as the billing cycle and your current subscription status.
In My Subscription, you can see your current plan, switch plans, and view and compare plan‑specific features
Finally, Priority Support is a feature that is only available for Premium Plan subscribers and will allow them to be prioritized when reaching out to our Support.
Settings
In the Settings you will find options related to the langify app interface. This includes:
- The rich-text-editor version
- The UI language
- The prefix setting for images uploaded via langify
- A toggle for the Static section visibility - this is a deprecated section and disabled by default
