Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureDefault Shopify themes apply English typography rules to every language. In Polish text, single-letter prepositions dangle at line-ends. In German, straight quotes appear where „Gänsefüßchen" should be. French is missing the non-breaking space before punctuation. Swiss German shows ß where it should be ss. Local customers notice.
Merchants find out a translation broke from a customer complaint, a Search Console warning, or ad spend landing on a page that reads half in the wrong language. All of those arrive late. LocaleWatch watches the translations you already have: on a weekly schedule it compares every translated product against its source and emails you when something stopped matching.
