Langwill：AI Language Translate

Terrible translations, worse than the simple browser translations. We got this app for the glossary feature but it is useless if the regular translations are bad.

Promotes itself as "AI" but only the top tier has the option.

Does not offer options to have photos based off of store language...

We've been using this for a year and we are so glad to move away from them.

Be Careful — Unexpected Charges Despite Free Trial Offer

I installed this app today hoping to try it out, as they clearly advertise a 2-day free trial and only $1 for the first month. I initially selected the Grows plan, and then switched to the Premium plan — all within 30 minutes of installation.

During this short time, I was twice prompted to approve a $1 charge, which I accepted, thinking this was part of the offer. But right after that, unexpected charges started hitting my card. First $49, then $72, and then more charges followed until there was no money left on the card.

I still don't understand how this happened, especially when I never intended to go beyond the trial period. This experience was extremely disappointing and stressful.

I do not recommend installing this app. Be very cautious with their pricing and payment system.

Customer service is one of the worst there is. All they do is apologize and put a lot of emojis in their messages. But in actuality they don't care and they don't fix BUGs in translations that have been caused by their application.

The application is still buggy at times and has a lot of issues. When there is a problem, there is no way to solve it. You have to follow up with them because they promise you that it will be done in X amount of hours and in response it is absolute silence. All they do is apologize again and say how you are important to them (all the standard CS replies) but it is all a bunch of lies.

Most unreliable application here, going to go out of my way to change my translations with other app.

This app is a scam, i installed the app and while i was browsing it i pressed translate to test how it works, later i talked to chat support to to ask few questions and while i was chatting with them i activated the FREE trial and within 2-3 minutes i see they charged me around $30 even though i'm on the free trial.

I just couldn't believe how such an app can scam us like that. however while i was still on the chat with them i asked i need a refund immediately and guess what ? she kept playing games with me for hours by saying oh you did not disable extra charges and you hit auto translate. well i did hit auto translate the minute i installed the app to see if it will translate anything and this is at least 15 minutes before i i even activate the FREE trial.

their game is having hidden fees and the minute you install the app you will be charged so BE VERY CAREFUL.

i activated the FREE trial for 300K words limit per month, so my question is how it's even possible to translate 300K words within 2 minutes ?i did check if there was any translation and i see NONE while i was charged.

The worst experience is dealing with their support via chat, so i gave up after hours trying to get a refund nicely, they charged me within 2 minutes after i activated the free trial and now i have to hustle getting a refund by shopify. i never liked to add a bad review for any app because i'm in business but it was a nightmare dealing with such an app.

8-04.2024: Adding more problems that we encountered with this app: We were surprised that we stop selling in one of the countries and surprise! this app messed up all the translations again and the color options, everything! Of course we were not selling, the website is totally bugged with wrong translations and no option for the products. This app made us lose so much money already, this is insane how bad it is. I wisj I knew this before I invested some much time in translations with this app. Run away from them. We are considering changing app even if this means a huge amount of work.

I am editing my review: this week I started to face some problems, 1st I could not upload pictures, it took them 2 days to find a work around, which is ok, but the upload through the app still does not work. Later the same week, all my manual translation just disappeared!!! We are running a business in several markets and just like that the translations disappear! Can you imagine the impact that this has on an e-comm company?! The amount of work that this represents is huge and now we are worried that this will happen again. This isn't a reliable service and we cannot operate a business in such an unstable app.

Old version:
Works most of the times quite well. Sometimes there are some glitches and the support is not always soling the problem, but overall I would say for a free plan it does a lot and it is the best option that I found to translate my website in several markets. The function to translate pictures and images is awsome!

My experience with this app has been highly disappointing. Despite opting for the highest plan, the translations provided are often outdated and incomplete for various countries. The promised auto-update feature is non-functional, forcing me to manually synchronize content daily across 20 countries. Despite reaching out to customer service over 50 times, the issue persists, with the response consistently claiming their developers are addressing it.

Recently, the app introduced an update limiting the number of words that can be translated without additional payment, a significant drawback not disclosed during subscription. This, coupled with an exorbitant monthly fee, makes the overall service feel like a rip-off. I am effectively paying for a service that falls short of its promises and now comes with additional restrictions on translations. I strongly advise others to avoid the hassle and explore alternative solutions.

Their currency converter for Euro doesn't show the right price for EU countries whereas others work with no issue.

I contacted them regarding the issue, and they said that they will look into it if I grant them access to my website. They send invitations with unnecessary access request such as Orders, Customers, Discounts which they do NOT need access to fix the issue. When I choose not to grant these permissions, they basically tell me that they cannot fix it.

It's important to be cautious because these apps may collect your data and either use it or sell it to third-party organizations to generate revenue. I strongly advise against providing access to your private data.

The most 3rd class app ever seen on Shopify app store. The app is created just to earn money through 1st month charges i guess. This never translates complete pages and translation is only 40-50% accurate.

This is literally the worst app ever. We translate into Japanese and we know that the AI translations are usually wrong so we translated the entire website manually. However, since the begining of this year (2023) the app has been acting weird like there is a bug in the system or something. We manually translate everything meaning there should be no errors, however when we click save, the translation appears at a totally random place on our website that we did NOT put it! We have reached out to customer service multiple times and they have not been able to solve our problem. Everytime all they say it "we need to talk to the developers" then after a couple days they get back to me resolving that one text or one page that was an error without fixing the ACTUAL problem so everytime we even touch the app our whole website gets messed up and past translations that were correct before disappear somewhere or a random translation ends up in the craziest places on our website. Since we do manual translation, all we asked customer service to do was to just simply TRANSLATE/MIRROR exactly what we type. After struggling with this for months and months and getting super frustrated, but thinking that all the work we did on the manual translations is gone, we decided to give up on this app because it is hopeless.

My experience is so bad i am facing an issue and i sent alot of emails to support team first they replied that this issue is not in our end you should talk to theme support team and after investigation from theme support team, i sent an email again to app team but every time i am getting the answer that our developers are still investigating and i am trying to get the solution since more then 1 month. i don't know how much time they need to resolve one query.
