Langify gives you full control over every translation — but that control comes with a lot of manual work. Here's how to get the same quality with a fraction of the clicking, using Claude and ShopMCP.
Langify has been around since 2014 and merchants trust it for a good reason — you control every single word of your translations. Nothing is auto-translated without your approval.
The downside is the work. Adding a new language means clicking through every product, page, and section one by one. For a store with 200 products and a content-heavy theme, that's days of work.
If what you love about Langify is the control — but you want to get there in one afternoon instead of a week — here's how.
The workflow
Export everything to a clean CSV
"Export all my page and theme translations to a CSV — I want to see what's missing in German."
Claude builds a spreadsheet with every text field in your store — headings, body text, button labels, form fields. A status column shows exactly what's missing. No image URLs, no technical noise — just the text that needs translating.
Fill in the translations
"Fill in all MISSING German translations. We sell handmade leather goods — keep the tone premium and precise."
Claude fills every missing field. You get a complete CSV back — review it, change anything you don't like, and you have the same level of control Langify gives you, without the screen-by-screen clicking.
Save to Shopify
"Upload these German translations to Shopify."
Translations are saved directly into your Shopify store. They live there permanently — no app needs to keep running, no subscription renewing every month just to keep your German pages in German.
Is Langify still worth keeping?
If you're already set up with Langify and it's working — no urgent reason to switch. But if you're starting fresh, adding a new market, or finding the manual workload unsustainable, this workflow gets you the same quality result in a fraction of the time.
