Common Challenges

Why Translating Shopify Products is Hard

E-commerce merchants face unique challenges when translating Shopify product content. Here's what makes it difficult—and how WISEPIM solves each problem.

Shopify's Character Limits Require Smart Translation

Shopify enforces strict character limits on titles (255 chars) and meta descriptions (320 chars). Translations often exceed these limits, causing truncation and lost SEO value.

WISEPIM's AI optimizes translations to fit Shopify's limits while preserving meaning and keywords. No more manual trimming or awkward cutoffs.

Metafields Need Structured Translation

Shopify metafields contain critical product data like size guides, care instructions, and specifications. These often get overlooked during translation, creating incomplete localized stores.

WISEPIM captures and translates all metafield content alongside main product data, ensuring complete localization of your entire Shopify catalog.

Collection Descriptions Impact Store Navigation

Shopify collections have their own titles and descriptions that affect navigation and SEO. Translating products without collections leaves your store half-localized.

Translate products and collection content together in WISEPIM. Export everything to Shopify for a fully localized shopping experience.
